Help with Nvidia drivers, Fedora 42

Hi,

Here is how I install NVIDIA drivers, and I’m a noob, and it worked so far for me:

NVIDIA Driver Install Issues on Fedora 42

Other than breaking once a month after kernel updates, the NVIDIA drivers worked for me under 41 and 42 KDE And I have an RTX4080 too. Here are the notes I follow exactly to install the NVIDIA drivers (I’m a noob, so I need cheat sheets and lots of notes ). Maybe it’ll help, if not then I have no idea what’s going on. This worked with 560 and now works with 570. I HAVE SECURE BOOT DISABLED! It’s just not worth the pain to have it enabled for Linux. The .run files provided by NV…

But I disabled Secure Boot, it’s just too much PITA with Linux. I never got NVIDIA drivers to work reliably with Secure Boot on any distro I tried.

I have a 3080 and a 4080 though. I saw some people having difficulties with the 5000 series.

Also, NVIDIA drivers will break often with kernel updates.
