It's finally out! A massive release IMHO. Lots of improvements for NVIDIA GPU driver. Unfortunately not much changes on the POWER side.

My AMD Radeon RX6600 continues to work with this new version.

The point now is to understand when there will be stable support for the new rdna 4 instead, I would like to buy for example the radeon pro 9700 to upgrade my 5700 after a long time... We'll see what happens in the next few months...

I am more interested in discrete Intel GPUs even though I know Intel's been laying off teams working on Open Source softwares lately.

Sorry guys, I've noticed that since some kernel releases, there are compilation issues when building a custom kernel. Every time I try to do so, it stops at a certain point and gives me this error:
Makefile:2025: .] error 2
debian/rules:7: build-arch error2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
makefile:1671: bindeb-pkg error 2
I've reported the most important things it says, but in any case, it still won't compile. I've tried both Debian and Ubuntu, which is a Debian derivative. I've even tried a server version of Debian 12, but nothing. There must be some file that needs to be modified with these new kernels that have changed something. Any idea what's going on?
