Quote from: viviridian on May 04, 2025, 02:49 AMhey so I learned today I was wrong about the akmod thing!
when booting after a new kernel is installed, my laptop would sit at a black screen with a flashing prompt, and the fans would spin up. i assumed this meant it was unrecoverably dead (because in my experience, that's usually what that means!) but during that time it's actually *synchronously building the missing kernel module*. so all i had to do was wait!
this page which is like, the canonical source for "how to use nvidia gpus on fedora" doesn't mention that at all 🙃
