How to install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver on Debian 12 Bookworm

This guide will show you how to download, compile and install the nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver on Debian 12. Some people install the driver directly from sid but this will mix packages from both stable and unstable which may create issues. It's recommended to update and upgrade your system before you start.

Step 1. Download the source code.

Install these packages.

sudo apt install build-essential fakeroot devscripts

You can manually download the source code from debian.org and go to Step 2 or continue with Step 1. Don't worry you won't be able to install packages from sid.
Add 'deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib' to '/etc/apt/sources.list'.

PCI Passthrough

Warning: unfinished (but successfull!)

I did PCI passthrough on Archlinux and Debian with the old PCI-stub method (this was pre-4.0 era). And later I did PCI passthrough on the 4.1+ kernels on Arch and Ubuntu (16.10 I think?).

This is my attempt at doing the same on Nixos.

Requirements

NixOS on Fedora

Please note that these instructions are not offically supported or condoned by Nix and are not guaranteed to always work, but from my testing everything seems to work perfectly fine.

These steps may not be required if NixOS/nix#2374 is resolved.

SELinux

These commands are required for both Fedora Workstation and Fedora Silverblue
