Bazzite-Gnome shows unnecessary NVIDIA update prompt
Upon booting this morning, I got a popup letting me know I can enable the NVIDIA Graphics Driver, which would require a reboot and a MOK enrollment. All fine. I wrote down the new MOK password, but then I get this error pop-up when pressing the Restart & Enroll button.
And I checked the directory the error references, and there is no
/usr/libecec/gnome-software-dkms-helper directory. Is there a work-around for this?
UPDATE: It appears that, because this prrocess failed, the NVIDIA drivers are (at least partially) disabled. Graphics applications either complain that my machine doesn't support OpenGL3 or use software rendering 💀

You can ignore this entire prompt
This is about the newly built-in DKMS stuff that Gnome did, we're working to remove it
Nvidia drivers are still built in as always
Unfortunately I think to fix this we have to recompile gnome software with a build flag to turn it off, rather unfortunate
Ohhh alright, gotcha. So this is all a false alarm?
yep
Solution
I will look into killing that prompt today
