How to install

Troubleshooting

• Black screen or boot loop after install:
  Try switching the login session to X11 at the login screen. Ensure akmods built successfully:
  sudo akmods --force --kernel $(uname -r)
  sudo dracut --force
  Then reboot.
• Secure Boot blocks the driver:
  Either disable Secure Boot in firmware settings or enroll a Machine Owner Key to sign the NVIDIA kernel module. Without this, Fedora may refuse to load the module.
• Driver not loading after kernel update:
  Rebuild modules:
  sudo dnf reinstall -y akmod-nvidia
  sudo akmods --force --kernel $(uname -r)
  Reboot and run nvidia-smi to confirm.
• Missing dependencies:
  Install headers and tools:
  sudo dnf install -y kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make dkms
• Revert to open-source driver (nouveau):
  sudo dnf remove -y 'xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*'
  sudo dracut --force
  Reboot.
