Maybe cuda support is disabled by in the Fedora package for that
reason?
That shouldn't be an issue. By default, GPU use is turned off. You
have to go to Preferences and turn it on, and you have a number of
options (None,CUDA, OptiX, OpenCL).
The issue is that to enable those options, you might have to link to the
NVidia proprietary libraries which would not be allowed.
Blender 2.82 (the one in Fedora) was released in Feb, 2.82a was only
released in mid-March, and 2.83 is coming out soon -- the beta was
released yesterday. Version 2.9 is in alpha for June. I've never been
a maintainer, but life is short, and for these packages that have new
incremental versions coming out all the time it would be a pain. If I
were a maintainer, I'd consider waiting until 2.83. It's easy to
download the binary...
Generally, new versions are not a big deal. Just update the version in
the spec and rebuild. It might just need a build config option adjusted
to turn on the capability.
