How can we be sure that a new kernel has the suitable stuff to compile kernel modules? (before launching dnf upgrade, of course....)
By watching the Fedora Forum and this list list. I have an old iMac that
lacks an iGPU, so when a new kernel appears I switch to nouveau so if dnf fails I don't get a black screen. The rpmfusion howto has a section on switching, which does require a reboot. You can either edit the kernel command-line in the grub2 editor or edit /etc/default/grub and then run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
PS: I avoid Nvidia as there are better ways to use my time, but the iMac was discarded by my wife when she moved to Apple silicon.
