I suspect that my nvidia graphics card has been damaged and it is causing many problems in my fedora setup, like the system lags a lot when playing videos in vlc or any media player and the system blacks out from time to time.

So I uninstalled the graphics driver (I am on laptop so I can't remove the graphics card) using sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\* I found at reddit.

But after restarting I notice that in About section: llvmpipe shows up in place of nvidia and intel integrated graphics is also missing.

And with those the sound and network (wifi) drivers are now gone too! And now the whole system is lagging, and weird flickers and colors are showing up on the screen.

NOTE: After waiting for a while, I did not find a fix here, so I am posting this on reddit as well.
