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Now here I am, with an nvidia driver that’s intentionally outdated because the current version is broken.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.
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.
I always thought it might be hardware related. So far i have always bought AMD cards and had no issues.
In 5 years on arch I have never had an nvidia driver update break anything.
