Bug filed: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5307

The driver itself seems perfectly fine in that the system boots and OpenGL
works perfectly fine. Games are playable.

How do I output strace to a file directly? It spits out way too much info.

The bug is reproducible by doing a fresh install on a new downloaded ISO
but really the likelihood that this is a bug caused by Nvidia is slim to
none. Arch Linux(what I primarily use) has the same driver version and
everything works perfectly fine.

Regardless of whether or not this specific bug was by a packaging issue or
Nvidia, the way Fedora packages the Nvidia drivers is bad:

-nvidia-smi isn't specific to CUDA and is a core Nvidia library interface
that should come with the base driver as it does in Windows.
-nvidia-settings is the Linux alternative to Window's control panel and if
not included by default, *should* be included via a "meta" package for
desktop users.
-OpenGL not packaged with the driver(or again, installable via a meta
package)? Who wants a graphics driver without OpenGL/Vulkan support?
-it isn't clear if the command I posted(above) installs the 32-bit
libraries or not. Really, meta packages would go a long way in simplifying
GPU driver installs!

Neither Windows nor even other Linux distros fragment the driver this much.
You'd have to add 32-bit libraries alongside the 64 bit driver and 64 bit
libraries to equal Fedora's fragmented driver packaging in some distros.
Why?
