When upgrading the NVIDIA driver (via rpm-ostree upgrade) you also need to update the Flatpak version of the driver to match. If you don't then Flatpak applications lose the ability to do GPU acceleration.

This seems to be handled with ujust upgrade but doesn't auto-fix if you use rpm-ostree directly. Baffling this is not being dealt with. 

flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-595-45-04
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-595-45-04

Install for both system and user (this requires each command being entered twice, option 1 being selected the first time, option 2 being selected the second time)

If you don't do this then you will lose GPU acceleration in Flatpak applications such as the RuneLite being launched via the Bolt launcher.
