I just installed Silverblue 41 on my Dell Precision 3571 (12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H × 20). After logging in for the first time, I blacklisted nouveau drivers because they don’t work on this Laptop. Question: How can I successfully install the Nvidia NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-565.77.run driver? Secure Boot is on in Audit mode. I would be happy to turn it off completely. I’d like to keep running Wayland for fear of angering Fedora. Please keep all replies simple as my hearing is not very good anymore. Thanks.
I am not sure it is possible to install that driver from nvidia since it writes directly to system directories that are immutable.
You can however install the drivers from rpmfusion using rpm-ostree.

Thank you sir. I had found that link, but I have become very distructful of Fedora documentation. I did excute the command and it’s amazing how much better my laptop runs.
