System massively slows down after a few minutes of use

Hello. I'm using Bazzite desktop gnome NVIDIA stable. I'm using an AMD Ryzen 3 3100, a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, and a MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max Mobo. I believe since the latest NVIDIA driver Flatpak updates my system works normally but after 5 minutes (or less) of use it massively slows down. Some processes (such as Firefox and gnome-shell) report using a CPU usage % above 100 while the slowdown is happening and then about 10-15 minutes later (sometimes sooner) the slowdown ceases for about 5 minutes only to be massively slowed down again. I tried booting a Ubuntu live CD to back up my entire disks in case I have to reinstall Bazzite (or worst case scenario: move to another Distro) which uses the NV drivers on Wayland and surprise surprise, I didn't have any slowdowns in 3 hours of use. I tried using Xorg instead of Wayland and the same problem still happens. This is clearly a bug, and it appears to be related to video drivers (possibly the Flatpak ones) but I'm not an expert so I can't exactly pinpoint what's going wrong. I don't even know if this is possibly the Flatpak drivers and not the ones in Bazzite. My system us fully updated. So my questions are: is there a way to roll back NVIDIA drivers in Bazzite? Is there a way to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers in Bazzite so that I can temporarily use NV and see if the problem fixes itself at least temporarily? Are there any risks in downgrade the Flatpak NVIDIA drivers while using a more recent NVIDIA driver from Bazzite? I would appreciate some help with this issue since my PC has become mostly unusable. Thank you for your time.

davincibox can't update: /usr/lib64/nvidia is full

Hello. Looks like I've run into my first issue with Bazzite but this probably applies to the rest of universal blue or any other system using ujust. So I used ujust install-resolve to install DaVinci Resolve and it's worked really well so far for a few months. The issues I'm having is that whenever I use ujust upgrade / topgrade to upgrade the default davincibox I get this error:

Error: Transaction test error:
  installing package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-3:560.35.03-5.fc40.x86_64 needs 3MB more space on the /usr/lib64/nvidia filesystem
  installing package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-3:560.35.03-5.fc40.x86_64 needs 169MB more space on the /usr/lib64/nvidia filesystem

I've tried dnf clean all inside the container to "free some disk space" but it was not enough. My filesystems are not full (host, guest) according to df.

What could be the issue here? I'm lost.
