What do you mean by kernel switching? I just install whatever is current, which is usually in the regular package archives a few days after the stable kernel is released. For example, I'm on 5.7.5-arch1-1 right now. It is possible to get into a situation where you want a kernel module, but you have updated the kernel and not rebooted yet. The old kernel modules won't be there anymore. I ran into this once when I wanted to play with wireguard. You can either reboot, or reinstall the kernel package you are currently running. No idea about snap or flatpak. I've seen more of snap on Ubuntu, frankly.
