There is no difference between livna and the official NVIDIA driver
package. The only difference is that one is an RPM, and the other is
not.

I have read the "Why use livna" page for the Nvidia drivers. It tells me
that maintenance is easier. That is cool but it does not really tell me
what the difference is. I am currently running the drivers as
distributed by Nvidia and am about to upgrade my kernel. So, I am
considering switching to the livna drivers. Before I do that, though, I
would like to know what I am doing.
What is the difference between the two? Is the livna just a repackage of
the same software I get from Nvidia or is it something different?
Actually there is a very important difference. The livna package won't
clobber your system libraries.
