Make sure you system is up to date (reboot if something was installed):

sudo dnf update -y

Install nvidia driver:

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

Wait until kernel module is compiled.

Enable video acceleration and some extras:

sudo dnf install vdpauinfo libva-vdpau-driver libva-utils xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda

Reboot system.

Edit this /etc/selinux/config file and follow instructions

By default fedora uses Wayland. Make sure the following section exists in /etc/gdm/custom.conf:

[daemon]
# Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false
DefaultSession=gnome-xorg.desktop

Default Printer application in GNOME (fedora 33) is not able to successfully configure wireless printer, it needs to be done manually:

sudo dnf install hplip hplip-gui
sudo hp-setup

Select Network/Ethernet/Wireless network and your printer will appear in the list. Follow the instructions and add the printer.

If you are experiencing high CPU usage when watching videos on youtube, verify that the following packages are installed (requires RPMFusion repository):

# RPMFuison repositories
sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

# Codecs
sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-{bad-\*,good-\*,base} gstreamer1-plugin-openh264 gstreamer1-libav --exclude=gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel
sudo dnf install lame\* --exclude=lame-devel
sudo dnf group upgrade --with-optional Multimedia
