    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.
