feat: Gaming on NVIDIA is not offered any more, the SteamOS conversion covers NVIDIA PCs
Sync git.upriser.nl mirror / sync (push) Skipped

The conversion installs the patched gamescope on every NVIDIA PC and sets up the kernel parameters, suspend memory and 32-bit libraries on a supported card; it turns off an existing Gaming on NVIDIA.

- **feat: the SteamOS conversion is offered on NVIDIA PCs again (GTX 16 / RTX 20 series or newer: Turing and later, the cards NVIDIA's open kernel driver supports): it builds and installs a patched gamescope from [steamify-gamescope-nvidia](https://github.com/theupriser/steamify-gamescope-nvidia) (GBM-allocated scan-out buffers, NVIDIA's corrupted gaming-mode picture, gamescope#2309; a few minutes to build) and sets `gamescope_drm_gbm_scanout=1` for the session (`lib/gamescope-nvidia.sh`). On those cards it replaces "Gaming on NVIDIA" (kernel parameters, early modules, suspend memory and the 32-bit libraries come with it); "Gaming on NVIDIA" is only offered on older NVIDIA cards, or while it is on (turn it off or swap it for the conversion; the two exclude each other); single user mode works with either. Tested on an RTX 5080 (driver 615.78.08): Steam's gaming UI is clean with it and shows artifacts without. The package is pinned to one gamescope release: updating it is not automatic yet**

It replaces "Gaming on NVIDIA", which is not offered any more (the kernel parameters, early modules, suspend memory and the 32-bit libraries come with the conversion on a supported card; a PC that had "Gaming on NVIDIA" on has it turned off when the conversion is turned on).

- **feat: "Gaming on NVIDIA" also keeps video memory over suspend (`NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1` in `/etc/modprobe.d/90-steamify-nvidia.conf`, the initramfs is rebuilt), enables `nvidia-suspend`/`nvidia-resume`/`nvidia-hibernate`, and installs `lib32-nvidia-utils` and `lib32-libxkbcommon` (32-bit games, the 32-bit MangoHud preload) on a supported card; off removes only what Steamify added. Untested on hardware yet**
