Is there a broader issue going on with NVIDIA non-free driver and the latest kernel (6.1.1)?

I am using an optimus Alder Lake/3050 laptop with non-free drivers and 6.1.3. It is an XPS rather than Omen. Haven’t had any boot issues or any other major graphics-related issues.

In reference to what you said in the other thread

The reason why many computers refuse to boot under kernel 6.1.x but work on 5.15.x is due to a kernel bug involving Intel CPUs of 11th(?) gen or later and NVIDIA cards. Until the bug is fixed, adding ibt=off to launch args will fix it.
