Year 2024, Round 25
Another batch of updates has been scheduled for release on Saturday, 25 May 2024, at approximately 13:00, GMT. If no problems are found while testing the release candidates, they might be available sometime on Friday (depending on your time zone).
The details:
Kernel 6.9.x is giving issues with f2fs, I needed to rollback to 6.6.29. Each start the fsck was checking for errors on superblocks, both in ssd sata and nvme, rolling back, after the first reboot with kernel, it ran again fsck but appears it fixed, and after the following reboot it stopped.
This new version have new features with f2fs but I think is not 100% free of bugs.

FWIW: Built and installed the 6.10-rc1 kernel and so far it is running well in -current with the nouveau driver. The most recent Nvidia Beta driver would not build and install, but that was not a surprise.
Edit in: It ran for about 60 minutes and then spontaneously rebooted itself.
I've switched back to the 6.9.x kernel which has been rock solid.
