My last install of Pop! OS bombed out on me today (I think because of the encryption) so I reinstalled fedora 44. I like that it comes with KDE Plasma as a default but it had a generic video driver for my GPU. So I had to remedy that. I already knew the latest driver works good on my card so I decided to install that one. The installer complained and warned me many times about not removing the old driver before installing the new one but I pressed ahead. Here's a screen shot with my version and new vid driver listed...

Looks like you switched from nouveau driver to closed-source nvidia driver. Great. Have fun using Fedora.
Be mindful it's not always very friendly to beginners, if you have any problems, ask here. :)
 
...and make friends with Snapper, for taking a snapshot before and after monkeying with settings.
