most of the help in fedora uses different package managers. Im just trying to get displaylink working, i have nix and fleek installed.
/var/home/steam
❯ rpm -i ‘/home/steam/Downloads/dkms-3.0.12-1.fc39.noarch (1).rpm’
error: Failed dependencies:

❯ fleek search kernel-devel-matched

there must be a way (an easier way), it says Full support for DisplayLink on github
I might have made some headway with rpm-ostree i got the fedora 38 displaylink driver installed (i think). maybe i just need to build the driver for fedora 39… i will continue to read more universal blue documentation. tbh i dont really know how this works (coming from vanilla ubuntu server environments)
❯ rpm-ostree install /home/steam/Downloads/fedora-38-displaylink-1.14.1-1.x86_64.rpm
We’ve had problems with displaylink lately, but the Bazzite folks enabled it last night on the desktop image: feat(desktop): Restore displaylink on desktop images, leave off of de… · ublue-os/bazzite@d8ee043 · GitHub
Might be worth a shot instead of doing it by hand!

Thanks a lot for the response and linking those commits! I understand now how this works, drivers on base fedora, software in container. Perfect! thank you so much.
