Looks like Nvidia dropped Pascal for the 895 drivers, which are needed for kernel 7.x

I'm planning on just pinning the latest 6.x kernel because that's 100% cheaper than buying a new GPU.
My question: am I realistically missing anything staying on the 6.x kernel?

I will be upgrading the GPU in the future, just not now. Don't really have a reason to upgrade when the only on-demand task it runs is light transcoding and a SAM backend, and it does both of those fine.
