Chromium/Electron desktopCapturer is limited in Wayland + how to undo NVIDIA kernel updates?

FYI I’ve tried Electron desktopCapturer (which is based on Chromium) and - in Wayland - it only works with Electron apps, it shows the mouse on a black screen, when trying to capture the “Entire Desktop”. Moving to Gnome X11 solves the issue as I explained here.

That having said, a quick question. I’ve tried to follow the instruction for NVidia driver update but it didn’t work probably because my Intel GPU is an old model: GT540M?

Should I undo my changes to the kernel etc… since I always see “NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau” and, just in case, how to do that?

If you used RPM Fusion (as you should), it’s just one command:
