NVidia drivers: RPMFusion vs. ELRepo

Rocky Linux General
2

I know Nvidia marks it as CUDA, but even if you aren’t using CUDA they provide official Rocky drivers (and you don’t have to install CUDA if you don’t want it):

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64/cuda-rhel8.repo
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf -y module install nvidia-driver:latest-dkms
sudo dnf -y install cuda

That’s one way of getting the official NVidia drivers. I only use NVidia provided RPMs and can’t speak to the other repos.

Hope this helps.
