I run into this on rare occasions. They are only rare because you aren't updating regularly. If you want to run external kernel modules like nvidia-drivers or zfs, stick to a longterm kernel. The ABI changes all the time, and so there will frequently be stable kernel version changes that break nvidia-drivers. Then there will be a lag before nvidia-drivers supports the new stable kernel. In the meantime you can't run the latest version, and that can mean security issues. The longterm kernels rarely break nvidia-drivers and get all the security and other fixes. They just don't get new features. -- Rich
