Many not. Nouveau is the sore thumb drm .ko among AMD, Intel and NVidia
providers in -extra:
# rpm -ql kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.33.2 | grep drm | grep .ko | wc -l
24
# rpm -ql kernel-default-extra-5.14.21-150400.24.33.2 | grep drm | grep .ko
/lib/modules/.../gpu/drm/gma500/gma500_gfx.ko.zst # 2008 Intel Atom
/lib/modules/.../gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.zst # current & past NVidia
/lib/modules/.../gpu/drm/tiny/gm12u320.ko.zst # USB projector
/lib/modules/.../gpu/drm/vboxvideo/vboxvideo.ko.zst # ???
#

NVidia users who wish to use exclusively FOSS are being functionally penalized
by needing -extra for the singular purpose of decent GPU support, unlike AMD,
(the vast majority of) Intel, & rPI graphics users.
