Switch to the LTS Kernel

Hi, I would like to switch to the LTS Kernel. I have AKM already install, but I was wondering if there is something else that I need to configure before/after switching to core/linux-lts.

I have and Nvidia card, do I need to install a different driver?
Do I need to configure pacman somehow for it to receive different packages?

Thanks in advance, I am quite a newbie in regards to this topic.

It should have updated your grub when using akm - so just select it from the grub menu upon reboot. That should be it.

It depends which driver you are using.

Can we see the output of

pacman -Qsq nvidia
egl-wayland
libvdpau
libxnvctrl
nvidia-dkms
nvidia-installer-db
nvidia-installer-dkms
nvidia-settings
nvidia-utils
obs-nvfbc-git
opencl-nvidia

You are using the dkms drivers. Those should work with either kernel.

In that case, you just need to install the lts kernel. You can either use akm to install the kernel and headers or type in a terminal:

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
