P.S.A. about Nvidia Drivers (RPM Fusion) failing to update

Correct so far, but with the release of Fedora 44 the nvidia drivers will become the 595 version.

Users with the older nvidia GPUs (10xx series and below) will need to switch to using the expected akmod-nvidia-580xx versions before doing that upgrade. The newer 595 drivers are said to continue supporting the 1650 and newer GPUs.

Note that the akmod-nvidia-580xx packages (and related nvidia packages) are already available in the rpmfusion-nonfree repo for f44.
