Zfs with linux 5.18

I'm trying to reinstall arch.  I set pacman to ignore Linux upgrade, but that broke my video drivers instead.  So I actually switched to Ubuntu briefly to try to resolve the below issues, but found it slow and buggy by comparison.  The basic situation is that I have:

1 nvme ssd to boot frmo
4 hdd with zfs raidz1

zfs-Linux cannot operate with Linux 5.18, and the same is true of the lts branch at this moment.  I reverted to 5.17.9 prior to reinstalling, but that broke nvidia drivers.

So my primary question is what do people who run zfs do with linux upgrades?  5.18 seems to be particularly problematic for all Linux + Zfs users.

Re: Zfs with linux 5.18

One option is to use the nvidia-dkms package instead of nvidia. This will keep your graphics drivers in sync with your installed kernel.

Sometimes you'll have to hold back updating the kernel until a new version of ZFS supports the newest kernel.

Re: Zfs with linux 5.18

zfs-Linux cannot operate with Linux 5.18, and the same is true of the lts branch at this moment.

The AUR packages (zfs-dkms) pretty much always (as in, for at least the past year) work with the latest kernel(s).

So my primary question is what do people who run zfs do with linux upgrades?  5.18 seems to be particularly problematic for all Linux + Zfs users.

I use zfs-dkms.
