How to install drivers for GTX 1050 on Fedora Silverblue?

I used the guide from here but an error pops up in the terminal:

error: Could not depsolve transaction; 2 problems detected:
 Problem 1: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd
 Problem 2: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: systemd

I’m new to fedora, so far I’ve only used popos which is based on ubuntu and I had the drivers installed right away. If someone could prepare a tutorial for me on how to install these drivers I would really appreciate it :hugs:

Welcome to :fedora:

So you did

  • sudo rpm-ostree install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm;
  • sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia

and you got the error message?

yes, after typing sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia in terminal.

I was able to install after running rpm-ostree update and rebooting.

Yes, it seems to work. It would be nice to see the card and its temperature in the resource monitor. Is this possible?

Nvidia Settings does not display the same detailed info when using Wayland as it does when using X11. I really hope that is updated soon as I miss it as well, but can log out then back in with xorg when I want the detail.
