Description:
bbswitch requires linux to be installed. How ever, I am using linux-harderened with linux-hardened-headers. It works just fine but I cannot remove "linux" due to bbswitch needing it as dependency. Same goes for any other linux kernel (lts,zen,...) Steps to reproduce: sudo pacman -Rs linux |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: bbswitch really does depend on linux. For other kernels, there's bbswitch-dkms.

The bbswitch package contains a single file -- a module built
specifically for the linux package. There's no way this would work
for the linux-hardened package.
So how can it bee that Bumblebee+bbswitch (optirun,primusrun,...)
work just fine for me on linux-hardened ?!
Perhaps you have bbswitch-dkms installed.
Nope because bbswitch is in conflict with bbswitch-dkms. But I
guess I should go for bbswitch-dkms then?
Yes, that's the intention.
