From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you run an rpm-ostree status and paste the results here?
Might also be good to post in ask fedora if you haven’t already.
The people who maintain silverblue are often there to help out.

Ahhh I see. Might be an issue with the Nvidia drivers and Wayland.
I would try the following in order and see if any of them fixes it:
Update your system "
rpm-ostree update" and rebootMake sure you are on a Wayland session. This also provides instructions to see what apps are in X11 mode (which I suspect Firefox and Software Center are in your case).
2.1 If you are already on Wayland (its the default in Fedora 37): Install Flatseal and force Wayland for Firefox (toggle off X11 and 'Fallback to X11')
2.2 If you are on X11, logout and switch to Wayland in the login screen and follow 2.1 to force Firefox to Wayland.
If that doesn't work I would follow these specific steps to install Nvidia on silverblue. RPM Fusion also has some specific guides for Silverblue that you should check to see if you missed a step.
I would also consider upgrading to Fedora 38, and bump up your RPM fusion major version to track Fedora 38.
I always use Wayland and already installed nvidia drivers. Upgrading now to 38, will update later
Update: same issue after upgrading to F38
