Haven't tried rpmfusion in a long time as patches or upgrades have usually been available before their updates to a new kernel.

I have no recent experience with the 390 series, but normally a driver from rpmfusion will build *on your system* when the kernel is updated.

There seems to be a lag of a number of days from when a new kernel series comes in the updates before the drivers for it are available on rpmFusion. As the pending move from 5.14 to 5.15 kernels.

If you install the akmod-nvidia-390xx package the nvidia driver is built locally on your system.  You don't have to wait
for the  kmod-nvidia--390xx packages to be available in the rpmfusion repo.

You would see something like the following in /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log.

There are

rpm -qa|grep nvidia

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx-390.144-2.fc35.x86_64

But no kmod for fc35. Installed for f33 but not for f35 after update can still use GUI booting the f33 kernel
