I'm progressively testing step by step, upgrading first to kernel 7.2
(from 7.1) - 7.2 with nvidia-drivers 550.163.01-5.1 wans't compiling
successfully but with the latest release from sid (550.163.01-6) it
succeded.

Next step would be upgrading gnome and mutter again to test it in
combination with current nvidia 550 release and kernel 7.2
and, in case of failure, i'll upgrade to nvidia 555 from experimetal.
