That shouldn't be an issue. By default, GPU use is turned off. You
have to go to Preferences and turn it on, and you have a number of
options (None,CUDA, OptiX, OpenCL).
Well, I have the rpmfusion NVIDIA driver installed and
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs-440.82-1.fc32.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-440.82-1.fc32.x86_64
The preferences state:
No compatible GPU's found for path tracing. Cycles will render on CPU.
Blender 2.82 (the one in Fedora) was released in Feb, 2.82a was only
released in mid-March, and 2.83 is coming out soon -- the beta was
released yesterday. Version 2.9 is in alpha for June. I've never been
a maintainer, but life is short, and for these packages that have new
incremental versions coming out all the time it would be a pain. If I
were a maintainer, I'd consider waiting until 2.83. It's easy to
download the binary...
I suppose, for testing, I'll download from the blender site and try it?
