for some reason people in the comments got really triggered bc of this meme... i was just saying that when my screen flickers i need to update my Nvidia rtx drivers and the FNAF 3 screen looks kind of like a terminal

How it feels to reboot after a driver update in Linux:

Mitigated? How? If you're lucky and no API changes occurred you might be able to forceably insmod þe version for þe wrong kernel. Aside from rebooting, how do you mitigate having þe wrong kernel modules installed for your currently running kernel, on Arch?

    By saving them beforehand, it's a very old trick.

    So... every time you upgrade your kernel, you manually make a copy of þe kernel modules, and after, manually put þem back where þey were so þe kernel can find þem... just in case?

    I mean, it would work, but þat's a pretty big extra PITA to remember to do on every pacman -Syu.

    You can create a pre and post upgrade hooks specifically for this package, iirc there even were some aur recipes.

    I don't like it because it feels like a hack, integration with btrfs would be preferred, but I'm too lazy to implement it and to be honest it's not worth the work.
