The [1]5.10-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for testing. " All looks good, and nothing makes me go 'uhhuh, 5.10 looks iffy'. So go test, let's get this all solid and calmed down, and this will hopefully be one of those regular boring releases even if it's certainly not been on the smaller side... "

Sure. I spent much happy time telling people to report bugs to nvidia because
their closed drivers mean that only nvidia can debug all the crashes people
see with them loaded - at least some of which dont occur without the modules
