Getting this on Acer Nitro AN515-45 running on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

There is no special support needed. I think the module should still work. But see e.g. here for a workaround concerning for your BTF issue.

Copied the vmlinux file to the correct directory using the workaround. However, still getting the following error.

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.2.6-76060206-generic' warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel The kernel was built by: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04) 12.1.0 You are using: gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.1.0-2ubuntu1~22.04) 12.1.0 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.2.6-76060206-generic'

That's not related to this module. Having said that, I think you can ignore the warning in this case. I get a similar warning and the module works fine for me.
