Many users have had problems with the akmod-nvida install. For

Or before the depmod done by the postintall of the kmod-nvidia-KERNEL
RPM finishes.
I have had the reboot happen too too quickly before but in this case I
had no control over the reboot process, it happened automatically when
the installs were completed.
Right: more precisely as soon as dnf system-upgrade finishes.
As said earlier on this list:
I made a proposal to prevent that:
kmod failed to load after upgrade Fedora using dnf system-upgrade
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011120
still waiting for approval.
This morning 'dnf upgrade' on one of my boxes installed the
470.239.06-2 versions of akmod and kmod, while the other box, having
the -1 nersions, said there was 'nothing to do'; then packagekit
found them and did a preliminary reboot before install. Both boxes
now have the -2 versions installed and running. The process does take
several minutes - and I did an "akmods --rebuild --force" just to make
sure.
F40 with plasma-workspace-x11 does seem to be working well now for me,
and can use vdpau.
How did you get Xorg working with Plasma as I can't see any group in dnf
to install that?
The path to where I am now has been complicated, mainly because my
nvidia hardware is 'legacy' and its 470xx driver has not claimed to
support Wayland. Under Wayland all cpus max out, and keyboard/mouse are
almost unusable. YMMV.
dnf info plasma-workspace-x11
It's in the Fedora 'updates' repo.
The other thing I didn't like with the F40 upgrade was in F39 I had dnf
configured to retain 5 kernels, but the F40 upgrade reset that back to 3.
My system has 450 MB /boot, space for only 2 kernels + rescue.
