Description

Builds and installs kernel modules automatically when kernels are installed or updated. It is commonly used for out-of-tree drivers such as VirtualBox, NVIDIA-related modules, Wi-Fi drivers, and hardware support packages.

Use it when a driver package depends on DKMS. Kernel module builds can fail after kernel or compiler changes, so keep logs and a fallback boot option available.
