Been running Fedora 40 for a few months, and having a hard time keeping Wayland as the desktop environment. Just did a fresh install, and the Nvidia driver updates to 555.58.02. I really want to stick with the Recommended branch, not the New Feature branch. Every update, Wayland breaks. How do I rollback to 550, and switch to the Recommended Branch for updates?

This might be it.

What’s the method to browse a repo for a specific version?

Linuxcapable.com suggests (over at https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-fedora-linux/)

sudo dnf module list nvidia-driver

But I can’t seem to find nvidia-driver. Are these profiles it mentions unique to the nvidia-driver package, or is that a feature of rpm’s?

I haven’t used RPM based distros a lot so I can’t remember off the top of my head. But I believe there are commands to play around with the yum cache and browse not only the list of packages but also which versions are available.
