mga9-64, OK here

Tested extensively with 6.6.18 kernels

Plasma X11, various desktop apps, incl video
VirtualBox with locally built VB dkms, as well as with prebuilt Mageia binary, MSW7 guest
suspend-resume

Forgot HW spec:
GPU: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750]
Mobo: ASRock model: P55 Pro
CPU: Intel i7-870

Now I note that nvidia call 550 "new feature brach"
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/current-graphics-driver-releases

Is this safe to ship as an automatic replacement for our current 535, no risk that any GPU users are having that get unsupported by changing 535 to 550?

If risk, I think we better package this 550 as our newfeature.

Kernel: 6.6.18-desktop-1.mga9 x86_64
Intel Core i9-7900X
NVIDIA GP102 - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti : nvidia 550.54.14
$ rpm -q nvidia-current-all
nvidia-current-all-550.54.14-2.mga9.nonfree

Installed under the linus kernel but the process was not smooth because the 32-bit repository had not been enabled.  Took care of that and all was well, I think.
The module rebuilds seemed to go OK.
Switched to the desktop kernel on reboot to force the driver to be rebuilt.
Mate desktop working fine.
teapot running at 60Hz.  Used nvidia-settings to disable OpenGL Sync to VBlank and the rate jumped to ~2400.  That setting had no effect on glmark2 timings, which is to be expected.  VirtualBox, Kstars, Tk graphics and handbrake working.

Rebooted to linus and server kernels and found no regressions.

Indeed, there seems to be some confusion over at Nvidia. Check out this question:

Also good with kernel-linus-6.5.13-2

MGA9-64 Plasma, i5-7500, Nvidia Quadro K620 graphics, rEFInd bootloader.

Started with the nvidia-current 535, used qarepo to get both sets of nvidia packages to be tested, then used drakrpm-update to change to nvidia-current 550. Rebooted into the same kernel with no issues, played a couple of videos, no issues.

Ran drakx11 and changed to the 470 driver, rebooted into the same kernel without issues, played for a few minutes, no issues.

Ran drakx11 again, this time changing to our newfeature driver. Rebooted to the same kernel, again, no issues.

Ran drakz11 again, this time switching to nouveau. Rebooted, and again no issues.

Finished up changing to nvidia-current 550 again, rebooted again, again no issues. Ran glmark2, receiving a score of 5118.

rebooted - noted I need the x11 driver and a couple of others.  Installed those.

System is working after the x11 driver and a reboot.

Most references I've seen seem to list this as the latest "production" driver, i.e. nvidia-current. My speculation is that there is a newer newfeature driver with a higher number under development, but it's not yet ready for release.

Since this is working for all testers, I'm validating the update.
