You'd probably need it if you have custom kernel

I don’t use a custom kernel & since my installation of arch is fairly standard, I posted this as a warning & as a resource as I was not able to find anything about this online.

No problem here with Manjaro/KDE and a 2080Ti

Huh okay. Must’ve been something else then & rebooting just fixed it for some reason

i am using pure arch with default kernel and nvidia-open driver, everything works fine with rtx 2070s

you can use it with default kernel, dkms is just a way to dynamically load drivers

Well, on Arch you can install either nvidia-dkms/nvidia-open-dkms or nvidia/nvidia-open. All four work and provide the NVIDIA-MODULE dependency. The dkms packages and the regular driver packages conflict each other and cannot be installed at the same time.

It is recommended to use nvidia-open.
If you use the linux-lts kernel you have to install nvidia-open-lts instead.

If for some reason you can't use the Arch standard or LTS kernels (linux/linux-lts packages), then you have to use the nvidia-open-dkms package. This is only the case if you use a custom kernel like linux-zen, linux-rt, linux-rt-lts, linux-cachyos or similar.

Be aware that the dkms packages in combination with a custom kernel may lead to compile errors during kernel update, which will leave you stranded on a login prompt instead of your desktop environment after the next reboot.

I just had the same issue again & it seems to be possibly due to mouse cursors or GTK settings.

Doesn't seem like the crash looping is related to nvidia drivers. May be a stability issue with suspend/resume or faulty memory training.
