This is guide, howto install NVIDIA proprietary Linux drivers (manually using .run files) and disable Nouveau driver on Fedora Linux 35 and same method works with Fedora 34/33/32/31/30 too. Linux Kernels 5.16+, 5.15+, 5.14+, 5.13+, 5.12+, 5.11+ and 5.10+ are tested.
Currently working NVIDIA drivers are:

This guide works with NVIDIA GeForce 6/7/8/9/200/300/400/500/600/700/800/900/10/20/30 series cards.
