I am surprised that nVidia has the patience to put up with the constant moving of the goal posts - even while the game is in progress. Well. if NVIDIA wants to play this game, they have to be "patient" (as far as I am concerned they are "stupid" not "patient") they know about this, in fact it is clearly documented. Yop. VMware gets it right (at least did when I last cared), VirtualBox gets it right (as far as I care about newest kernels).
Just AMD and NVIDIA do not want to. Or perhaps they do and you are to look in the Beta Drivers section instead. When I last used VMware, nearly 2 decades ago perhaps, they always only dealt with final kernel releases, a similar policy to NVidia, VirtualBox is hardly ever lagging.
That observation matches my experiences, and what I see on the openSUSE forum. VirtualBox fixes their code as soon as possible once a given RC1 is released, but NVidia and VMware are very slow to respond.
In my case is that I only have older NVidia hardware, and the latest drivers no longer work. As a result, I have to fashion my own patches.
