I have this rather old laptop with Intel CPU and a Geforce 940MX dGPU. In most Linux distros I can install the proprietary drivers and it usually works fine. Right now it’s running Fedora Workstation 42 and aside from some tweaks when it comes to gaming I can’t complain much.
My question is the iso containing Nvidia drivers available on the website says that only more recent cards are supported, so would I have to install the regular iso and use the Nouveau drivers? Or the bluefin-nvidia-open works for my system?
I’m not a developer, my computer needs are mostly video conferences, text editing and some light gaming, but I’m curious about Linux in general and this idea of having a more closed system appeals to my not so infrequent desire to mess with things I don’t quite understand.
We don’t have the legacy Nvidia ISOs anymore. You can install the normal ISO and then rebase to the legacy nvidia-image
And in order to rebase to that image I need to check Github releases and follow the instructions to the one with Nvidia drivers?
You just need to rebase to bluefin-nvidia:stable

Here is what @inffy recommends you do specifically:
Make sure your system is up to date by running ujust update and reboot.
Then run this command - replace stable at the end with whatever release strategy you are using.
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-nvidia:stable
FYI - for future readers
