First I tried installing CUDA for blender cycles renderer. That broke my driver installation.

Then I removed anything nvidia with sudo dnf remove *nvidia*, which made my system return to the nouveau driver (which works great btw, it’s just too slow for what I need)

Now, every time I go sudo dnf install nvidia-driver, it installs it, and when I reboot, my screen is all blown up and using an incorrectly small resolution I cannot change in the settings:

Also nvidia-smi is not being installed. So a lot of stuff is going wrong…
I also think it is not actually running the nvidia driver, since anything accelerated, like the GNOME animations are turned off.

It would be amazing if someone were to provide me with help on this! <3

    it’s solved by now…

    i had like - three different sources for the driver, one of which being for fedora 39, so that’s where the problems came from.

    i removed the extra sources aaand got it to work.

    then I actually followed the instructions on how to install cuda aaaaanndddd somehow it actually worked!! :ooooo

    i cn use blender with cuda now! (and the drivers work too! <3)
