It’s a couple commands and laid out cookbook style. Fedora has a very good document page on installing nVidia drivers. And the installation is generally very smooth.
The biggest hang up for first time users is understanding that you need to wait for everything to build before doing sudo systemctl reboot. How long do you need to wait? No one really knows. There is no progress bar or any other notification that the building is done successfully. You just wait and then take a leap of faith into that dark abyss and hope for the best.
Typically, it’s recommended to wait “at least 5 minutes”. Maybe more. I always waited around 10 minutes, (or one cup of tea) to be sure. But some users reported needing to wait was much as 20 minutes for everything to build. YMMV
Regarding the wait time, maybe I just got lucky, but just waited for me CPU usage to come back down and spammed modinfo -F version nvidia or some such until it stopped erroring. My actual hang-up was getting simpledrm working and then secure boot.
