Kernel 6.11-rc1 has been released, and brief details are here:   https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2407.3/04272.html

As confirmed by pre-tests (see previous post) NVIDIA 560.28.03 and 550.100 drivers compile OK.   There have been issues reported with 555.xx and 560.xx drivers, which I have found to fail with GTX10xxTi series cards, but 550.100 should work for all supported hardware..

The situation regarding patched VMware drivers is still confused, but the latest(?) 17.5.2 patchset (from https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules/tree/tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9-sharishth ) seems to be OK with 6.11-rc1, but more testing may be required….
