I know the ELrepo nvidia packages (for RHEL) have a nvidia-detect
package (and corresponding yum plug-in) that makes it easy to install

Perhaps someone needs to port this over to Fedora, dnf, and rpmfusion?
I Posted this link earlier. It's not a difficult google; but here it is
again. I've copied the equivalent section, and expanded a link within
it but anyone hoping to use the rpmfusion packages for nvidia really
ought to be aware of this page. I'm not sure about Wayland, though...

{{{
Determining your card model
NVIDIA has several driver series, each of which has different hardware
support. To determine which driver you need to install, you'll first
need to find your graphics card model.
If you don't know it, open a Terminal (Applications > System Tools >
Terminal) and type:
/sbin/lspci | grep -e VGA
You can also check the supported chips section:
https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/495.44/README/supportedc...
and see which series is recommended for you card, then install the
appropriate driver series. Please remember that you need additional
steps for optimus.
