OK cool. I’ll observe for a while without locking to see how I go. I already did that with the G06 drivers, but eventually ran into the issue that prompted this thread. But that issue is hopefully solved having switched to G07, so for now I’ll go back to just waiting out repo asynchronicity. Alternatively, I’ll try locking packages.
I am using the Packman repo as well, which also means waiting things out sometimes. This had become quite annoying when having to wait out overlapping Packman and Nvidia asynchronicity. But again, maybe G07 has made this easier for me. Next time I run into Packman issues I will test out @OrsoBruno’s suggestion from this thread.
The most important thing is that I now understand the situation better and have options thanks to you guys!
