These topics is usually toxic - so I will be watching - and the slightest sign of intoxication - the topic closes.
It is no secret that Nvidia and Linux kernel don’t go well together.
That topic is covered here
- The end of Nvidia proprietary Drivers on Linux !?!

The drivers works - I am writing this on a system with Linux59 and nvidia 455 but if you are looking for CUDA support and OpenCL.
According to the Phoronix article quoting Nvidia
" Linux Kernel 5.9+ is incompatible with current and previous NVIDIA Linux GPU drivers. We advise customers to defer updating to Linux Kernel 5.9+ until mid-November when an NVIDIA Linux GPU driver update with Kernel 5.9+ support is expected to be available. NVIDIA is aware of the impact this will have on customers, and we are working diligently to provide the driver update with Kernel 5.9+ support as soon as possible. "
