## Addendum 2026-01-18
This is turning into a pattern. Today I noticed while working with Darktable
that OpenCL was no longer in use. Sure enough `inxi -G` told me that no
NVIDIA driver was loaded.
When I issued
```fish
sudo dnf install nvidia-settings xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
```
dnf said that these packages were already installed, but with `sudo dnf update`
I got a whole bunch of updates for the NVIDIA-related packages.
After rebooting, my laptop would crash twice, but holding my breath I disconnected
the external screen, rebooted again, and after logging into Fedora 43 reconnected
the external screen, which finally went smoothly (and I could breathe again).
