“Minor” inconvenience is not having a coffee machine in the dining room, it’s nothing like the culture of incompetence that permeates organization that are that severely vendor-locked.

It does feel like that! I remember having to do that on one of my Ubuntu installs because of Nvidia drivers. On my Pop!_OS, however, it doesn’t do that.

I think you can use the TTY to update Nvidia drivers until the next major update of Pop!_OS and by then it should be fixed.

That doesn’t happen on my machine, so I can’t exactly test it and report back, but

Can you try updating in a tty? If the desktop crashes, tty sessions should be unaffected. Maybe it’s just a bad version or something and it’ll get resolved once the updates are properly installed.
