Note: Using the backport version of nvidia-current (515.65.01)

BOINC detects CUDA and OpenCL. But no suitable work unit to try.

Tested:  Plasma desktop; using Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ktorrent, Nextcloud client, Syncthing, Firefox ESR (video ok) java program FriBOK, Flatpak program KiCad... 

( Sidenote: Interesting regarding video in flatpak Firefox: it used to stutter, but is OK now and was when testign the update kernel 5.15.74 (I forgot to note in that bug.  I cant tell if it is because of kernel or the flatpak updates regarding firefox and nvidia - i have not tested for a while. )

Tests OK as VirtualBox Host:

Guest 1: my usual MSW7pro-64, tests OK: dynamic guest window resizing, bidirectional clipboard, host shared folders both bidirectional and write protection checked, USB2  memory stick read&write (using upstream extension pack) USB2 chip programmer Conitec Galep-5, video playing OK in Firefox, drag file from host Dolphin to guest Explorer. 

Guest 2: BOINC LHC@home ATLAS simulation virtual machine 3CPU.

Guest 3: Mageia 8 -64, Xfce, kernels 5.15.74-desktop-1.mga8, and 5.19.16.

All three guests running concurrently

mga8-64 Xfce, running as the VirtualBox guest 3 above:

Firefox surfing and plays video. Plugged in USB flash stick in host, checked it in VritualBox guest window frame menu to share, the partitions icons popped up on xfce desktop, and I could read and put new files. Bidirectional shared clipboard. Dynamic desktop resizing.
