vaguinerg, Thank you! How would I make this work with newer kernels? Could I just rename the folder inside lib/modules/5.18.8-porteus --> lib/modules/6.0.7-porteus? Or is this really made for specifically 5.18.8 kernel?

Thanks vaguinerg!

The Porteus ISOs aren't that big.

The Nvidia diver is picky. It will only work for the kernel it is compiled under - therefore I recommend having the NV driver version and the kernel version both part of the NV driver module name, as vaguinerg did with his driver module. Additionally, when compiling you also need to use exactly the same gcc compiler that was used for compiling the kernel.
More on that in this thread: [HOWTO] make a xzm module driver for NVIDIA video card

A trick like renaming lib/modules/5.18.8-porteus --> lib/modules/6.0.7-porteus will most certainly fail, but you can still try and report back if it does succeed.

It didn't quite: things got weird on the screen

/nvidia-driver-340.108/lib/modules/6.1.0-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
/nvidia-driver-340.108/lib/modules/6.1.0-porteus/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia-uvm.ko
the nvidia driver.run make the kernel modules inside the kernel version so you have to have the kernel build version to work with driver

If anyone is interested, I made the 470.182.03 driver, as in addition to being smaller, I also noticed a slight increase in performance.

It accompanies the 32-bit libraries and is only for the 64-bit porteus 5.0, any other version should have problems.

vaguiners, would you happen to have built a newer driver by now, something like 08-nvidia-525.85.05-k.5.18.8-porteus-v5.0-x86_64?
