Hello.
I need help with a few issues. After over a decade I tried fedora again. I’ve installed fedora 41 workstation (gnome) on my laptop (Clevo PB50RD with nvidia RTX2060). What do I need to do in order to play World of Tanks on it? I’ve been recommended to install nvidia driver using

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

and then I’ve installed portproton from software manager. The game installed and lauched fine, but only with low settings and 11fps. Rigthclicking on the portproton app I find Launch using discrete graphics card but the result is the same. Tho the system settings shows the card as RTX2060, not as before (NV166).
Thanks in advance!

The best way to install nvidia proprietary divers is with rpmfusion:

Enable repositories

Install drivers

Make sure to disable secure boot (they can work with secure boot but it requires extra steps also detailed in the guide) and make sure you log into a X desktop session instead of Wayland. Wayland performance was less than adequate last time I tried an nvidia card in F41.

I’ve done everything as per that guide, trying to boot with secure boot enabled. MOK enrolment screen doesn’t show up after reboot and obviously nvidia kernel doesn’t load on startup.

As a temporary workaround I’ve changed the graphics card in UEFI/BIOS settings from DUAL to DISCRETE. Now the integrated Intel UHD 620 is switched off. Works in KDE too. I’m waiting until nvidia would become more compatible with wayland.

Also I was experiencing issues with the driver installation process with secure boot enabled. MOK enrollment screen wasn’t showing up on reboot. The solution was to reboot in BIOS after importing the key in terminal, then switch secure boot to DISABLED. MOK interface would appear on boot. After introducing the password I was asked to reboot to system, but I rebooted to BIOS instead, switched secure boot ENABLED and then booted into system. Now I have the nvidia driver installed, signed and secure boot enabled.
