Switching between Nvidia drivers?
Hi,
What would be the best way to switch between different Nvidia driver branches (e.g. production/feature/beta) for testing purposes? I know that besides the official Nvidia release, there are a few different repos independently packaging it for fedora (eg RPMFusion and Negativo17), but idk how/where Bazzite gets its driver from and if it'll cause me issues if I try to replace it with one of those. Also, IIRC both RPM Fusion and Negativo17 don't offer all the available driver branches.
A process for making a "throwaway" deployment with the latest beta driver which I use once and delete when I'm done with it would be very useful. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to do something like that? I'd prefer to not have to do it all manually from a base silverblue install...

we (universal blue) only offer stable releases for the drivers and there are no plans for us to add other branches for it.
the drivers have to be added at build time which means when the image is built on github. you cannot add them at runtime (when youre using the system) and you can only get them through an update to the image.
and bazzite gets the driver from Negativo17 through the hw support layer
