Any kernel could be the last to support old nVidia drivers for your $10k card.

That has to be the host kernel not the guest kernel. Old Nvidia systems without supported kernel drivers often lack IOMMU to forward PCIe memory, too. I wouldn't recommend using an outdated host kernel with 2026 AI-powered vulnerability scanners.
Windows (10 LTSC or 11 with dTPM) actually works better for old Nvidia systems with WSL. You even get CUDA libraries within WSL and security updates for the next 5 years.
