Hey guys. I had an issue with the latest NVIDIA drivers just a short while ago. Discord updated, so now I have to update my computer again. Will this update kill the 3000 series graphics cards? If yes, how should I avoid that fate before I reboot my computer xD
I doubt it. The last update was only the discord package, so nothing else will be updated unless your system was not up-to-date to begin with.
Well I previously had to backdate the drivers. How would I know if my manual driver change has been overwritten in the latest update?
Can I show you my console logs? Perhaps you can help.

That would be the case, given that you need to update the kernel.
If you only want discord, then you can try… 
sudo pacman -S discord
… but be advised that this will leave your system in a partial-upgrade state, which we cannot support. 
I’ve already done the full update. The logs are above in the previous post. It does mention NVIDIA in there. How can I know that these aren’t drivers that are gonna kill my computer on reboot?
You don’t. Or I don’t think you do. I think that issue had been solved, but since I didn’t have it, I don’t know for sure.
You’ll either have to check the #announcements:stable-updates announcements, Nvidia’s website, or install the previous driver, or update, reboot and test. You can always install the drivers from a chroot environment.
Ah thanking you kindly for the link to the announcements. This answers my problem. They reckon they fixed it which is nice.
