Sorry to hear. I don’t have any issues with mine and Fedora, but I’ve not messed with anything advanced in the user space drivers for games. I’ve thought about trying some feature title gaming here or there, but I am not willing to buy into a whole ecosystem of gaming or play anything that I am unable to own. As far as the kernel space driver, I have not had any issues. Fedora regularly updates the kernel and builds the Nvidia driver from source in the background with every update. It evolved a bit in how they were doing the hook and build from source. It went through a phase where it took a few minutes to build before shutting down each time there was a kernel update, but now it takes less than 30 seconds.

I still don’t like how nvcc (the cuda code compiler add-on for GCC) is proprietary, and that has some side effects when it comes to compiling other projects in general. However I have the version of nvcc that some projects use through pip/Python. It is the same nvcc and required files, but it doesn’t require the entire dev toolkit, legalise monstrosity, or bloat of the package download directly from Nvidia.

With Fedora, I run Gnome/Wayland in F40 WS as far as I am aware. My laptop doesn’t have a convenient mux to use the integrated Intel graphics for the monitor separate from the 3080Ti GPU, so it is running my monitor as well. Anyways, may be there is something I’m that mix that can be an issue but isn’t one for me. That’s why all the bla bla bla, maybe your issue is outside of this. For me, I have no issues whatsoever. Like I was pretty worried initially about a laptop version of the 3080 having so many extra thermal interrupts and the potential for failures, but I’ve had nothing to complain about with daily use for over a year and some pretty heavy AI workloads. Fedora is pretty dialed, especially with the Anaconda system outside of the kernel that does the source driver build and key shim. It does all of this with a single NVME that has a Windows partition and secure boot enabled.
