@nicovell3: It is up to users to choose the package they prefer. In my view, this package (linux-keep-modules) is easier to read and maintain due to its use of a shell script that is straightforward to understand and modify.

In contrast, kernel-modules-hook package consists mainly of one-liners, making it less readable and harder to maintain. I consider one-liners risky, especially in scripts that perform file deletions.

Both packages serve the same purpose, and having an alternative causes no harm. Feel free to use the package that best suits your needs.

As this has already commented in Reddit, an alternative to this package which is already in the official repositories is the package kernel-modules-hook, present in the extra repo: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/kernel-modules-hook/ . Maybe this package could be removed to avoid confusion
