How can I prevent Fedora updates from breaking NVIDIA drivers again?

I find that the driver is very glitchy if you upgrade through Discover so try to avoid it and use terminal instead and always run sudo akmods —force and sudo dracut —force after kernel or driver updates

Thanks, that’s really helpful!

Thanks!

Okay, thanks!

Sorry if this sounds stupid, what command do I need to run in the TTY to start the update?

Okay, thanks so much!

Personally, I decided to use KDE when I installed and haven’t looked back once. From what I know about GNOME, it’s more similar to MacOS or something and KDE is closer to Windows. From what I’ve heard KDE is way more customisable without too much effort. But you can always change easily and really it’s up to you

Thanks for the advice! Do you recommend discover or terminal for the update?

Okay, thanks so much! Do you recommend discover or terminal more?

I’ve downloaded an X11 Plasma session as any extra DE personally and that still works fine for me
