Yes. You can run it on Fedora. try these steps? 1. Install nix. a: preferd way: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L \ https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install b: may be use dnf? I am advised dnf is a bad idea! 2. clone latest nixpkgs git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs 3. cd nixpkgs nix-build -v nixos/tests/kernel-generic.nix -A linux_testing currently this will run 6.12-rc3. when the test does not finish running, "Ctrl + C" to sop when it succeds to re-run: result=$(readlink -f ./result); rm ./result && nix-store --delete $result nix-build -v nixos/tests/kernel-generic.nix -A linux_testing -antony
