UPDATED:

Kernel 6.18 is available in backport repository :P
(And in backport_testing we have a 6.12)

Please read https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Kernel_flavo ... rt_kernels

It is also possible to install those kernels on Mageia 9 Live:

Now we are at 6.12.60 in QA, backports testing repo.
On majority of machines it works well, on some of mine more snappy than 6.6.
But problem on two of testers so far, see bug.
Anyway, I and my wife use it on several systems and it works well here.
Do read https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Kernel_flavo ... rt_kernels to install.

I use it on three machines and it works well. No problems.

Now we also have 6.18.2 in backports testing, same bug.
I use it with no regression noted on two machines.

Can someone try latest backport kernel with nvidia-current driver?
And report on the bug:
