For sanity, use RHEL or a RHEL clone and not Fedora (less kernel updates, less opportunity for nvidia driver breakage), then use the official Nvidia rpm repo and the setup should be pretty straightforward.

I think you may be interested in ProxMox. You can pass through the GPU to a VM or CT.
That way if you get tired of troubleshooting, you can just create a new VM.
PolloLoco vgpu guide will help you
Thanks!
Nothing against fedora but I did not have a good experiente with it, specially akmod-nvidia drivers
Pretty easy on Debian, Ubuntu, rhel and it's derivatives.
Why not use proxmox? Then passthrough the gpu to distro of your choice? I have 2x headless ubuntu set ups with gpu's passed through no problem. One for plex/jellyfin, one for cameras
This rig isn't really built for virtualization. In fact, I don't think I can even enable KVM in the BIOS. A regular OS and maybe some containers will have to do.
My only real question is how to get the Nvidia drivers installed sans display server.
Pretty sure they're installed by default. At least in ubuntu.
