I'm learning how to write a module, and when I initialize "make", I get

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.6.6-060606-generic/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

With this Makefile:

obj-m = foo.o

KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)

all:
    make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
    make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(PWD) clean

I've found this as a potential solution. As you can see, I'm running 6.6.6 but Mint only supports an inferior Kernel. Is it okay if I download my latest distro headers and use those?

In terminal

wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.6.6/amd64/linux-headers-6.6.6-060606-generic_6.6.6-060606.202312111032_amd64.deb
wget https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.6.6/amd64/linux-headers-6.6.6-060606_6.6.6-060606.202312111032_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-*.deb

Then see if you can compile
