Stop using my posts to get attention.

> and why do you keep repeating it

Stop using my posts to get attention.

But seriously, folks:  this isn't about the same kernel as before -- it
is a new kernel release, and the posts inform people that a) they are
available, and b) that they build without error.

You might also add -- in my case -- c) they work with the NVIDIA drivers,
since I won't run these on my workstation with nouveau.

(Note that these posts are to encourage people to try building the
vanilla kernel...which isn't for casual users!)

Good to know. Thanks vallor!
Might I suggest adding those tidbits to your posts? perhaps as a footer? It's quite informative.

Best,

I'll do that moving forward.

(I usually mention which NVIDIA binary blob I'm using, but it hasn't
changed from the release drivers for several iterations.)

Nothing is "broken".

BTW, there's a new set of drivers from the NVIDIA web site -- a
new release driver and a new beta.  I'm now running the beta.

I still had to "skip-module-load" like this:

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-575.51.02.run --skip-module-load

(Something to do with module dependencies.)

The video drivers are used to drive the video.

Without the video drivers, you won't have graphics for your
gui, or to to play kick-ass games like Elite Dangerous: Trailblazers.

Very, very old ones.

Anybody using a discrete video card is most likely
keeping up with video drivers.  NVIDIA and RADEON
are two such examples.

That is one use of video drivers.

Another -- which you are probably more familiar with -- is
to display a gui for drooling over Usenet posts, Youtube,
and whatever else you fancy to look at.

Unposted youtubes are more fun, anyway.

ObLinux:

Should mention that with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07 and
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-575.51.02 Steam has been throwing an error:

MESA: error: DRM_VIRTGPU_RESOURCE_CREATE_BLOB failed with Invalid argument
MESA: error: Failed to create virtgpu AddressSpaceStream
MESA: error: vulkan: Failed to get host connection

Doesn't seem to affect gaming, but it's annoying.  Might have something
to do with my changes to my Linux .config, where I set some DRM modules
to "y" (add to kernel) instead of "m" (build as module).  Also some
related errors in dmesg.  Will have to investigate.

I'm actually looking forward to playing the games vallor is citing 
there. I have yet to play Everspace, but I'm sure I'll dig it. Elite 
Dangerous is probably right up my alley too. As far as I know, both 
those games run natively in Linux.

As I have indicated time and time again, building the kernel
is a simple task.  However, CONFIGURING the kernel is the
important and difficult issue.

Why bother building a "vanilla" kernel when it is the same thing
that the distros provide?

But the distros cannot provide a kernel that is configured specifically
for ones hardware, and building such a kernel should be the goal of
all GNU/Linux users.

Having said that, it is quite useless to build kernel sub-minor versions,
i.e. 6.14.X unless there is a pressing need, which for the "casual"
user there is not.

He's boasting of his ability to update the kernel.
