I try to install steam on Fedora Budgie. These instruction seem no longer accurate: Steam Installation :: Fedora Docs I get an error:

How do I install Steam on Fedora 43 Budgie?

NVidia driver 580.105.08 got removed from repos, probably due to [Regression] 580.105.08: DisplayPort monitor limited to 1920x1080 instead of native 2560x1440 · Issue #960 · NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules · GitHub issue.

Downgrading akmod-nvidia to 580.95.05 may help.

You should be able to perform the downgrade from 580.105.08 to 580.95.05 by doing the following.

  1. ensure the rpmfusion-nonfree repo is enabled
    The enabled repos will be shown by dnf repolist and if not already enabled follow the instructions at rpmfusion.
  2. downgrade with sudo dnf downgrade akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia --allowerasing
