Installing nvidia driver installs a new kernel - Blåhaj Lemmy

When installing the proprietary nvidia driver recommended by the the official debian page [https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Debian_12_.22Bookworm.22] for Debian Bookwork, apt seems to want to install a new kernel. I actually did this before (since this is my second time installing debian on here) and this new kernel messes with the display server somehow, disabeling all monitors but one, limiting the resolution, removing all the UI animations and so on. So I don’t want to do that again. My current kernel is the Debain 12 default: linux-image-6.1.0-18-amd64. Am I doing something terribly wrong, is the website perhaps outdated, or what is going on here?
