Fedora will soon re-introduce AppStream metadata for the driver package in the Nvidia repository for RPMFusion. This will make the Nvidia driver available to install in Plasma Discover, but the installation will not work due to Secure Boot. Plasma Discover should use mokutils to create a key for the user to self-sign the drivers.
mokutils
GNOME Software implementation for similar feature: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/2034 Fedora 41 proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NvidiaInstallationWithSecureboot
So, how should we do this in Discover? Should we have a plugin like GNOME Software? Should we extend the PackageKit backend? Or do something else? @aleasto and @apol, what do you think?
