Fix OBS crash on NVIDIA drivers on Manjaro

I use OBS to record an Android emulator screen for the app I build. Since two months, after updating my Manjaro system including NVIDIA drivers, things went broke. So let’s see how we can easily fix OBS crash on NVIDIA drivers on your Manjaro system.

If you have Intel or AMD GPU, you may not see this crash. This is mostly happening on NVIDIA drivers. Manjaro forum users has different fixes, some may work for you and some not. But I did not liked the install/uninstall fix. That was not the fix to me.
