Yesterday morning, I wanted to do my weekly patches (dnf upgrade). I
saw that dnf wanted up upgrade the kernel to 6.11.3, but I did not see
it wanting to bring in a newer version of the rpmfusion nvidia driver.
This looks like the sort of thing that caused me real problems multiple
times in the past. So I "declined" the upgrade. I tried again a few
minutes ago; same results; I declined again.

I do NOT want to be running with nouveau!
I have not been able to figure out how the rpmfusion nvidia version
numbers relate to the kernel version numbers. So looking in the rpm
fusion web site does not help me. Was I correct to abandon the dnf
upgrade, or should I go ahead with the upgrade?
I have the 470xx driver running with x11 in FC40 in a BIOS system.
On kernel update dnf will not download new driver modules, but new ones
will be built and installed by akmods after dnf reports that the upgrade
is complete. It's best not to reboot until all this has happened. I
usually run atop to see the progress of the various jobs, but 'systemctl
list-jobs' will show when all is done.
