Before upgrading, you would need to turn the RPM-Fusion repos from local packages into layered packages, with the following command:

sudo rpm-ostree update \
--uninstall rpmfusion-free-release \
--uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release \
--install rpmfusion-free-release \
--install rpmfusion-nonfree-release

Afterwards reboot into the new deployment, and then repeat the upgrade process.

Still no difference to the result. Upgrade to 44 fails.

Did you reboot into the new deployment before upgrading? If yes, please post the output of rpm-ostree status, and the output of the failed rpm-ostree update. When pasting the output, please format it as preformatted text, using the corresponding button in the message editor.

I rebooted before trying the upgrade many times.

The problem was solved by Duck.ai.

I entered the following command-

sudo rpm-ostree uninstall akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda nvtop libva-nvidia-driver
libavcodec-freeworld ffmpeg gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld gstreamer1-plugins-ugly waydroid
rpmfusion-free-release-43 rpmfusion-nonfree-release-43
sudo rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/44/x86_64/kinoite
sudo systemctl reboot
