Yes, the "short lived" driver version 455.45.01 supports the 5.10.y series.
Nvidia is overdue for a new "long lived" driver. Probably any day now.
gotcha. Yeah, especially with Cyberpunk out, they generally push new drivers for that. (Not that it's a Linux game, but they've been better for fixing driver issues with Proton/WINE games lately.)
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

As of the moment (see time stamp) the "test" (6.1.x revision 141725) and "development snapshots" (revision 141743) of VirtualBox will not work with the 5.10.y kernel. Oh, they will install, with an error, and the panel will come up, but your virtual "machines" will not run.
Distribution: Slackware64 15.0 (started with 13.37). Testing -current in a spare partition.

Thanks for the info, I can't run a kernel without a stable VBox version for it.
5.10.1 seems to run ok. I don't run any raid array so all file systems here (ext4 and ntfs) are ok.
I gave up VirtualBox for Qemu, and now I can't run VMs with 5.10.x. Maybe I should try a different hobby. ;-) Nah, I'll just stick with 5.9.x until they help me figure out the problem.
Running Current-Vtown with 5.10.1 custom kernel with nvidia 460.27.04 Beta driver on GTX 1070 Ti as of today. All good so far.
BTW, untarred 5.10.1 is almost 3 Gigs. Customizing took forever. Some day some enterprising soul may create a database of motherboards that will "sed out" all the kernel options that have zero relevancy. I'd pay for that.
FWIW, today a new Development Snapshot, revision 141935, is available and it will also work with the new 5.10.1 kernel. Test build, revision 141928, will not.
