After two weeks on arch, nvidia driver updates have broken shit twice already.
But that's the arch way and I chose the arch way.
In 5 years on arch I have never had an nvidia driver update break anything.
I had it screw my system so hard it didn't boot and I had to use the installer to uninstall the driver and boot with the generic one. A couple days later it broke steam and the advice on the arch forums was to downgrade, which I did (to a version before the one that didn't let me boot).
Now here I am, with an nvidia driver that's intentionally outdated because the current version is broken. Just like on windows.
I always thought it might be hardware related. So far i have always bought AMD cards and had no issues.
I've historically had ATI and AMD cards, when I built my desktop in 2017 I bought a 1080ti, love that card with just how long it has lasted, but I don't think I'll ever buy Nvidia again. For a good long while I just gave up on linux on my desktop and just ran windows.
