Hi,

We just had the same issue with an Alma 9.8 installation (not Topspin but OpenVnmrJ,
but that’s not the issue) - even something benign like resizing a window or opening
a web browser crashed the screen.

We successfully did this with
dnf install kmod-nvidia

It may be necessary to enable ELrepo before with something like 
sudo rpm --import https://elrepo.org
sudo dnf install https://elrepo.org

After that Linux only came up with a black screen only - turned out it is necessary to disable
Secure Boot in BIOS (in our case with AMI BIOS: switch Secure Boot from „Windows UEFI“ to „Other OS“) -
apparently secure boot prevents the new driver from compiling during reboot…

Cheers
Bert
