Because I'm curious.

I don't _have_ to do it, I'm just interested in systems.  Being
mostly retired, I can go back to looking at the things that
used to interest me.  I'm not a typical user.

So, I'm sitting at Linux 6.8.0 for now, as the new feature for
6.8.1 doesn't apply to me -- and the NVidia driver it seems
to require isn't as performant as my current driver.[*]  (I need
the performance for both _Starfield_ and _Elite Dangerous Odyssey_.)

[*] YMMV
