Step 1: Multilib

Enable multilib (32-bit) support in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

And update:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Check Card Manufacturer

Check your graphics card type:

lspci  | grep VGA

Step 3: Install Drivers

Step 3A

If you see Nvidia, then install the intel drivers:

sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-intel vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader

Step 3B

If you see Intel, then install the intel drivers:

sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-intel vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader xf86-video-intel

Step 3C

If you see AMD, then check your card support vulkan:

yay -S gpu-viewer
vulkaninfo | grep 'VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeatures' -A 3

You should see 'true' here.

sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader xf86-video-amdgpu
