I've built the latest release candidate kernel, and booted it in
a virtual machine.

$ tail -n 3 uname.out nohup.out 
==> uname.out <==
Linux mintvirt 6.15.0-rc3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 21 12:29:21 PDT 2025 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

==> nohup.out <==
real 407.34
user 19040.85
sys 3865.71

Compiles without errors, and 10 warnings, all except one being
-Wframe-larger-than 1024.

I did boot this one on bare metal, also, but wasn't able to get either
the release or the beta NVIDIA drivers to build on them.  (I didn't expect
them to work, as NVIDIA says they only support released kernels with their
drivers.  But sometimes, they do start working early.)

I usually leave these rc kernels running in a virtual machine, and see if
any background processes generate messages in dmesg.  So far doing this,
I've only come up with one bug, which on looking it up I ended up testing
a fix, which ended up in the next rc kernel, and is now in the 6.14 series
and later.  ("I'm helping!" ;)   )
