Issues installing the CH341 Arduino driver

I want to get into Arduino programming and got an Arduino, that requires the CH341 driver (which can be found here: https://github.com/arkin/Arduino_USB_Drivers). I followed the installation instructions and ran sudo make in the linux directoy of the git repo. This resulted in the following output:

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.14.5-arch1-1/build: No such file or directory. Stop

How can I fix this?

Did you not try the ch341 kernel driver supplied by the linux package before building the out of tree one?

CH340 and CH341 in UART mode work perfectly with in-tree driver.

I'm pretty sure a driver that hasn't been updated for 8 years won't compile for modern kernel.

There's ch34x in the aur.  It's a dkms package.
