I really gotta double check on my laptop, but I am using the nvidia-580xx-dmks aur package with the latest kernel (should be 6.18) without Problems.

But then again a lot of the "normal" HW acceleration is handled by the igpu there.

Thanks. No harm in trying it out, at least if I prepare appropriately.

Yeah I thought the whole idea of dkms was so that you aren't locked to one kernel?
