Greetings, everyone! I’ve got a question for you. I’ve brought back to life an old ASUS laptop (mid 2015). Cleaned it up and applied new thermal paste, updated the BIOS, installed a new SSD, added 8gb of RAM, new WIFI card and also a new battery. The RAM and the Wifi Card were brand new (sold/sent …

Update: I’m using Fedora Silverblue 43! I layered NVIDIA Proprietary Drivers, Steam, Media Codecs and LibreOffice. It’s working just fine. Thanks for the help.

What exactly is sketchy about those steps? Anyway your link seems like a copy of these: Making sure you're not a bot! But to be honest having an akmod installed on an Atomic essentially defeats the purpose imo. There is no upgrade guarantees because the nvidia driver is not part of the image. Unive…

[image] Alex Diaz: What exactly is sketchy about those steps? What I meant was: the solution provided seems to be “trust this guy from Git, he made a workaround”. But since it is actually shown at RPMFusion website, it seems trustworthy. Still it would be nice to have a “official” solution. I…

Be aware that the last driver to support the Geforce 930M will be the current 580 nvidia driver. If/when you upgrade to f44 it will become necessary to remove the current 580 nvidia driver and install its legacy version 580xx from rpmfusion in order to continue support for that GPU. This should no…

They have plain Fedora + nvidia images: Package kinoite-nvidia · GitHub for Kinoite They are meant to be used as based for your own image but you can also use them directly. In any case you need to enroll the MOK if you want secure boot enabled.

Oh… I didn’t knew that. Thank you!

Not sure what that repo is about. The images were last built 15 hours ago and they have been updated to f43 and will have f44 when it’s released. The real repo is this one: GitHub - ublue-os/main: OCI base images of Fedora with batteries included · GitHub

oh and last I knew the akmods repo is simply installing akmods packages (and hence compiling the drivers) They add the akmods to this repo and pack it into a container to use as cache for other images to pull from iirc

[image] Alex Diaz: Not sure what that repo is about. It’s the base layer for the “main” images you linked to. It’s the one that provides the kernel modules.

Although that repo appears to still be building F42 images, it was archived a year ago.

Details about their current approach to modules is here: GitHub - ublue-os/akmods: A caching layer for pre-built Fedora akmod RPMs · GitHub

I’m also trying to find package maintainers and testers for NVIDIA kernel modules that can be used with Fedora’s releases:
