I don't think it's right to drop support for hardware when the driver is
EOL upstream. Nouveau never worked properly with my GK208B [GeForce GT
710] and the proprietary driver is the only usable option.

Furthermore, this was not communicated properly when I upgraded using
do-release-upgrade. It simply left the nvidia 470 packages installed,
and the DKMS build failed with the new 6.11 kernel. So, after rebooting
after the upgrade, I didn't have a working X GUI. Everything still works
if I use oracular with the 6.8 kernel from noble. Apt pinning can help
with that.

Hopefully the errors that happen when building the 470 modules with the
6.11 kernel are fixable.
