NOT running Linux 6.14-rc2

[vallor]

Linux lm 6.14.0-rc2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 10 17:24:46 PST 2025 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

real 395.98
user 18941.12
sys 3467.65

But, same as before with 6.14-rc1 -- couldn't get the NVIDIA
drivers to build. Even tried the latest beta drivers.

So, I'm still running Linux 6.13.2 -- and keeping my eye out for
updates to the GPU drivers.

Running it now.

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.86.16 drivers on the MIT/GPL branch.

Someone (leigh123linux) posted the fix to the NVIDIA forum in this thread:

This approach is clearly superior to simply downloading the driver and
double-clicking the executable file. Glory be to Linux.

Seriously though, anyone with an NVIDIA chip should refrain from using
Linux. Until they open-source the drivers, it's a mess.
