how often did you update? I run pacman a couple times a month but rarely at the beginning of the week or on weekends. I’ve only had three or four OMG what just happened reboots. And twice it was something that needed the front page of the arch webpage calling out the fix, I know I should look there more often but I only ever do when it’s so bad I can’t make heads or tails of it
nvidia drivers are all dependant on who is implementing them
I only ever have problems if the kernel is updated without the drivers, because I somehow updated before the video driver was included
this is my experience for over 10 years now on Arch
For those cases I love endeavourOS, as it configures exactly these (in my opinion PITA) cases automatically “correctly”
I just use the dkms driver package
Yeah, have it setup in nix to just work and haven’t had issues in years. When I ran arch (btw) I was routinely recovering my system from bad updates
