    I booted Linux 6.15.0-rc4 on bare metal, but had some issues
    with hardware: we'd had a power failure, and I have a USB
    hub plugged into a "surge protect only" socket on my UPS. Seems it
    came back in a weird state, knocking out a lot of my USB devices,
    including my keyboard, which was only registering every other
    keypress. Very weird ...and disconcerting.

    After getting that squared-away, I got rc4 booted, and tried to
    build the NVIDIA drivers. Turns out the 6.15 KBuild script has
    changed enough that it doesn't work with the drivers' installation
    scripts. After playing with Makefiles for a while, I punted and
    went back to 6.14.4.

    Linux 6.15.0-rc4-next-20250429, I just built, and it is running in
    my Mint virtual machine. That is up and running fine.

    it looks exactly the same

    Yes, your post certainly does.

    Have you considered trying Linux?
