This needs a patch for GCC15 - rpmfusion does already provide this. You maybe want to use the rpmfusion packages, till NVIDIA fixes this, see: https://github.com/rpmfusion/nvidia-kmod/commit/16eebfcd3ddfcdff73d02e7cba461faf435efa15

Or standalone patch, which you can apply before running the .run: https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS/blob/master/nvidia/nvidia-utils/0008-kbuild-Add-workaround-for-GCC-15-Compilation.patch

The easiest way to install from source, until an official fix, is as explained in https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/827

Just modify two lines in kernel-open/common/inc/conftest.h by adding -std=gnu17 compiler flag and it builds on FC42 with GCC15 also.

Or go the rpmfusion option.

Or go the rpmfusion option.

Can you provide the best way to do this?

I followed the kernel open guide here https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Kernel_Open but having issues finding the repository.

You can use rawhide repo to install latest beta driver

sudo dnf install rpmfusion-nonfree-release-rawhide
sudo dnf --enable-repo=rpmfusion-nonfree-rawhide update *\nvidia\*

Last time I tried to use rpmfusion, it did not support the 50-series cards.
