My suggestion for people finally looking to switch from Win 10 to a Linux distro; if you have an Nvidia card, avoid Gnome (desktop env. many distros ship with it). It’s unfortunate since Gnome looks and feels great but my lord is it unstable on Nvidia drivers. I’ve tried to stabilize on my RTX 3080 but no luck.
Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as “don’t use GNOME if you have Nvidia”.
Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I’ve never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.
Now I obviously cannot point to any specific driver issues or the like, so I cannot make any general conclusions other than from my own experience.
Maybe the issues stems from the Ampere architecture of the 30-series. However I would still issue a warning, although still recommend people curious to try out Fedora with Gnome, even if you have an Nvidia card.

My folly was HDR support, and boy that aint easy.
