That will make things difficult.
(btw regular grub without changes should already work with the Shift or Esc thing … no need to change to menu… but you probably need more than 0 seconds of grub)
Any updates on the issue? I am experiencing the same… it doesn’t seem to want me installing the latest Nvidia drivers. Conflicting packages and all.
Removing all of it mhwd, lib32, utils, opencl and replacing it with the 450 breaks my system. I have to remove it all over again and reinstall the 440. Doesn’t matter which kernel I use (57 or 58).
EDIT: last time I did it lightdm didn’t want to start either.
