Research direction
Reproduce the installation using both linux and linux-lts kernels with the NVIDIA Open driver selected, then trace the package-selection and installation path in archinstall. Confirm the fix by verifying that nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, and headers for both kernels are installed and that nvidia-smi works after installation.

Description:
Selecting both linux and linux-lts kernels along with the NVIDIA Open driver, the packages (e.g., nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, headers for linux-lts and linux) are not installed after the installation completes.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run archinstall
- Select linux and linux-lts kernels
- Select NVIDIA Open driver
- Complete installation
- Post-install: nvidia-smi says it cannot find the driver
- Post-install: pacman -Qe shows installed packages xf86-video-amdgpu xf86-video-ati vulkan-radeon xf86-video-nouveau vulkan-nouveau
- Post-install: pacman -Qe shows no NVIDIA packages or headers installed
Expected behavior: NVIDIA Open driver dkms package, Nvidia Utils and headers for both linux and linux-lts kernels should be installed after system installation is complete.
Actual behavior:
NVIDIA packages and headers are missing from the system after installation.
