Package and Kernel updates are almost daily maintenance task on Linux systems. Many users have asked what happens when you have installed manually NVIDIA drivers on Fedora (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCXKu5NuNk4) and upgrade your Kernel.
I have got several questions what happens after kernel upgrade?
Normally you can just upgrade your Kernel and everything works. This video shows you what really happens when you upgrade your Kernel with NVIDIA drivers + DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support).
Actually this same thing happens with any other DKMS module, like VirtualBox, your WiFi drivers or whatever uses DKMS.
