$ uname -a
Linux lm 6.12.0 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Nov 19 11:11:40 PST 2024 x86_64 
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Oddly enough, the beta drivers don't work with Linux 6.12 yet.  I had
to switch back to the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.135.run binary blob.

Note that my distribution doesn't build the kernel for me, I have
to do it myself.

Lackey.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc.
