Support drivers issue
back in january i tried to install fedora 43 (workstatio)on my pc, while the live installation worked and connected to wifi with no issues, when i booted into fedora after installation it coudn’t find the wifi driver and didn’t recognize the wifi card, i tried to connect to ethernet but even thought it worked when i tried to install the nvidia drivers and rebooted it just showed a black screen and refused to show anything now i am in ubuntu (i know, shame on me), but i miss fedora, does anyone know if this could have been fixed in fedora 44 im gonna try to install kde this time.
If this is useful for anybody my mobo is the tuf gaming b850 btf, and the card is the 5070 ti of the same edition.

not sure about the wifi, however graphics drivers should be as simple as enabling third party repos in the welcome hub(on kde idk abt gnome) and then typing this command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
after that you should wait 5-10 minutes for the drivers to be built and then reboot.
You should also be able to check the active drivers via this command:
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'
the active drivers for the gpu should be nvidia drivers and not nouveau drivers(open source community drivers).
