I’m on ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:stable but we have nvidia-gpu-firmware-20241210-1.fc41.noarch installed and rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver.repo in yum.d, is it safe to remove the package/repo or does it provide some important functionality? is something broken with my config?
Two separate things.
/etc/yum.repos.d/ Nvidia repo is the main way Nvidia drivers are available on fedora. That repo is there but not enabled on fedora by default. We do not use rpmfusion for Nvidia drivers. However, since it’s there by default and disabled we don’t delete it.
The specific rpm package you are seeing is firmware from linux-firmware that is necessary for using Nvidia devices. This is necessary for those wanting to use nouveau/nvk/nova. This package is installed by default on Fedora workstation/atomic desktop systems.

thank you for the clarification, I am a bit confused about why the metadata update still happens if it’s disabled (I was hoping to speed up my rpm-ostree runs):
Updating metadata for 'rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver'... done
Just use bootc update instead, it ignores all of that stuff.
You can disable the repo.

that doesn’t work with overrides or overlays
