I updated to nvidia v550 recently. Got a blank tty screen right after login to gnome/wayland. Rebooted the computer and login to gnome/x11, no issue. Logout and relogin to gnome/wayland, no issue. Yay, I guess?
One time, on endeavour, Xorg stopped working for some reason after an update. Had to look up how to manually switch to wayland, adding to the tower of ducttape that is my system.
The NVIDIA drivers getting removed during an update has happened to me THREE times in the last 3 months. In that same time frame I saw an LTT video where they had the same problem, and now this meme with the same problem again. What the actual heck is going on here? I just run the system update command and it says it has to uninstall the drivers due to some conflict with a system package. Then it reboots to the screen in the right image above. Im still trying different distros and configurations but it’s almost enough to make me give up. As lame as windows is I can at least expect an update not to completely brick my system (most of the time).
Ive never had my DE uninstall after an arch update. Genuinely had no idea that was a problem for anyone until i saw that meme
in the right meme I believe the nvidia driver borked

Yeah, here’s the original meme: https://lemmy.world/post/12825315

Don’t forget the grub issue.
Eventually it’ll all come apart and you’ll be forced to do it right :3 ^.^
In other news, GRUB is actually installed properly on this system now 😅 Dunno how the thing was even booting, to be honest.
Also, welcome to Way-land!
Or I’ll switch to Fedora because I don’t have the time to maintain my own system.
I’ll probably do that when Plasma 6 hits their main repos. I’m trying it on Arch and so far, I’m well pleased with it.

I’ve had my entire setup crash when I was updating the kernel.
