This one is edgy.

Nvidia Arch user here, are you just forgetting to rebuild your kernel modules after a kernel or nvidia driver update?

You can just add a pacman hook that triggers mkinitcpio -P after the linux or nvidia packages are updated. I've never had a no-GUI situation from a stray update... maybe one or two that were my own doing when trying to set up UKI's though.

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...

Pretty sure paru without flags defaults to that, so you don't even need the "-Syu" portion! 👍
