Fedora 43
NVIDIA Drivers (Fedora 43)
Fedora 43 has NVIDIA drivers in the default repos (no RPM Fusion needed):

For current NVIDIA cards
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

For legacy 470xx series cards
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-470xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx

For legacy 390xx series cards
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia-390xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx
The akmod-nvidia package automatically builds the kernel module for your running kernel.

I recommend installing the nvidia control panel

dnf install -y nvidia-xconfig

Note: When you install these wait 30 seconds or so before rebooting, the installer is recompiling the libraries for your specific kernel version.
This takes a few seconds depending on how fast (or slow) your computer is. In fact everytime you do a kernel update, you should wait about 15-20 seconds or so before rebooting, give the system time to compile the updated video drivers.

AMD Radeon Drivers (Fedora 43)
AMD drivers are built into the kernel (amdgpu), so they work out of the box. You just need the userspace component:
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu

Thanks for putting this up. now we hope people read it and pay attention instead of asking the question again. I have one for dual booting bookmarked for the 4 times a week people ask about it.
