Moving desktop to Arch (feddit.uk)

I’ve been running Arch (vanilla) on a dell laptop for more than a year now, and really happy with it. I also just installed Omarchy on an ancient machine both to try to give it a bit more life and try out a tiling window manager.

I’m now planning to move my main desktop machine over from windows 10, but it has a 1070ti graphics card—which I’m quite happy with as I don’t game at all, and only occasionally run small local LLM models for messing around. I don’t need a newer card, but of course, Nvidia…

So, would I be better off replacing it now with AMD or something else, or just using the older drivers? Will the 580xx- driver still give me a few years before I need to worry.?

I will miss RTX Voice, but happy to give noisettorch a go.
