Thats great.
I'd still like my Nvidia card to work so I'm happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I'll be happy for those users then too.

I thought Lawnchair died off a looong time ago, Glad to hear it's still going.
I set up a wiki.js docker container for myself, mainly for keeping track of video game achievement lists in things I'm playing, but I'm probably gonna plop all my docs into it at some stage. It does basically use folder hierarchy, and I have it set to backup to a self-hosted Gitea git repo every 24hrs as well, so I have somewhere to pull all the markdown docs (and their edit history) from if needed, too.
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...
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.
It's not gonna stop Google's internal processes from deciding to pick complete BS results, and you'd definitely be ignoring new genuine content too, but as long as your not looking for results on something time sensitive it would tune out a lot of the AI generated noise out there from the crazy rise in ChatGPT content-farmed articles.
I seen a post on mastodon yesterday that said if you're using google to search for anything, the trick to getting useful results is to include before:2023 and ignore anything newer because it's probably just AI generated/prioritized BS.
I don't think they were entirely wrong in thinking that, tbh.
It looks like Debian 12 only provides 525, 390 and a legacy 340 driver, based on the wiki. As @people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org mentioned, Debian 11 has a 470 driver, but that would be a different set of repositories that would probably not work great for you on Debian 12.
The actual latest Nvidia driver is 550 as of a few days ago, so maybe you could try a manual install of either the latest or 470?
I'm not sure if anything like downgrade or frogging-family\nvidia-all exists for Debian, I ^sigh^ use Arch Linux^btw^.
Glorious Eggroll is also behind a database called ULWGL that will get all the game launchers that use his proton (heroic, lutris, bottles...) to use the same game specific patches because at the moment they maintain them independently for the most part. The project seems to be taking off pretty quickly because it's already formed an organization around it and recentered itself to even be Proton-GE independent if needed.
Pretty sure paru without flags defaults to that, so you don't even need the "-Syu" portion! 👍
This one is edgy.
