I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much (lemmy.world)

I'm usually using nvidia-beta drivers from AUR because they're newer, so I just added the hook as an insurance policy.

The DKMS drivers are probably the safer option because they'll handle rebuilding the kernel modules. Even though (like EddyBot said) the kernel and nvidia packages are supposed to get updated together, sometimes you can spam pacman -Syu at the wrong time and only one package is updated and things go wonky...
