Nvidia GPU drivers: more update checks

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

The UpdateInTerminal app will now make more checks on kernel updates in systems which have a Nvidia graphics driver installed.

Checks that it does:

  • if linux would be updated, then it warns if nvidia would not be updated
  • if linux-lts would be updated, then it warns if nvidia-lts would not be updated

If the system has nvidia-dkms installed, then these additional check will not be made.

So it does a sanity check for kernel updates on Nvidia systems.
And if it finds a problem, it will ask user what to do next.

So if you use the Welcome app for updating your system, please note that Welcome uses UpdateInTerminal for this.
