Built the "linux-next" kernel based on the one above, booted it on
my virtual machine.

$ tail -n 3 uname.out nohup.out 
==> uname.out <==
Linux mintvirt 6.15.0-rc3-next-20250422 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 22 08:48:48 
PDT 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

==> nohup.out <==
real 684.32
user 36340.42
sys 4162.66

Not sure why it took so much longer to build than previous kernels.
