There is a flashing underscore beneath this, so it’s not completely frozen. What should I do? Is it safe to just force a reboot?

    As someone who runs multitudes of Fedora servers with Nvidia+kmod build issues, I can say you’re fine to reboot.

    Nvidia packages fail all the time, especially when there is an out of order issues, like if you’re updating a kernel before a reboot, AND also the kernel headers aren’t in place first.

    Reboot, and if the drivers aren’t working (run nvidia-smi to check), just reinstall the updated packages and reboot, and it should be fine.
