No idea why you took this personal or why you assumed I didnt know why DKMS is. DKMS doesn’t work for every situation.
Nvidia has the money to ship a product that works and is compatible with rolling updates like every other driver in existence. Ive never had to use dkms for my amd cards.
I didn’t take it personally but installing core software packages from websites instead of using your distro’s package manager is the worst possible practice. Absolutely nothing that should be recommended publically without anyone with a clue protesting. I don’t really believe the “DKMS doesn’t work for any situation” argument either, tbh. Either there is a miodule matching your kernel, compiler and glibc then DKMS will just work or there isn’t. In the latter case you better believe in your distro’s maintainers’ descisions or you really know what you’re doing - and the fact that you’re overriding package management in a production environment tells me that you don’t. Better someone on the internets is telling you than your boss, believe me.
Bro I used Arch linux and installed via pacman. I think maybe you are confusing me for the guy telling people to visit nvidia.com and follow their instructions. Appreciate the lecture though.
