will need more info before anyone of us will be able to help you. i am not too familiar with the nvidia stuff as i have not owned an nvidia card that i used in linux for many years but could you at least provide the output from these commands
rpm-ostree status
rpm-ostree kargs
rpm-ostree initramfs
rpm-ostree status
rpm-ostree kargs
rpm-ostree initramfs
if you are missing the nvidia kargs from the kargs command and modesetting in the initramfs command you can set them with
ujust configure-nvidia
ujust configure-nvidia

i think initramfs is wrong given it states amdgpu.conf running configure nivida

the selection is in the grub portion, very easy to miss šŸ™‚ if you still have issues after the rebase you can run the ujust command i gave in my first post to set the kargs šŸ™‚

one question i do wanna ask my main game is on here as a flatpak am i still able to instrall a different launcher for it if that launcher is copr instead of flatrpak
HikariKnight
HikariKnightā€¢5mo ago
ideally you want to avoid layering rpms if you can as they make your updates slower. If a flatpak is available and it works, you use that if it can work in a distrobox, use that if it works in nix (and you want to use nix) use that, if not, skip if nothing else works you should try layer it this is usually the order we tell people to try stuff in. however sometimes there are things that must be layered (like vpns)

FFXIV has two launchers the flapak one which you can select in the portal and one which has custom patches which allow wine and dxvk changes thats all
HikariKnight
HikariKnightā€¢5mo ago
use whichever one you want but we would always recommend the flatpak approach first and use that if it works for you, i am not familiar with FFXIV. you will have to add the repo into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and enable them, disable gpg checking (doesnt really work in image based systems) and then you just install with rpm-ostree install you can also use rpm-ostree install to install rpm files

might be eiaser to just do the flatpak and use the terminal app for the CEF tool i use
