v4l2loopback:
This kernel module allows you to create "virtual video devices". Normal (v4l2) applications will read these devices as if they were ordinary video devices, but the video will not be read from e.g. a capture card but instead it is generated by another application. This allows you for instance to apply some nifty video effects on your Skype video... It also allows some more serious things (e.g. add streaming capabilities to an application by the means of hooking GStreamer into the loopback devices).
v4l2loopback-kmod:
KMOD kernel module for v4l2loopback

The is the Webapp Manager ported over from Linux Mint. It allows converting websites into a kiosk-like web application. It's useful if you want to run websites in fullscreen mode such as Netflix or Crunchyroll.

WineHQ version of wine with staging patches. Upstream WINE does not agree with the way Fedora packages WINE. Fedora packages WINE with wine-staging patches included, and does not change the name which makes bug-reports from Fedora invalid because the package is called 'wine' but includes 'wine-staging' patches. We provide the WineHQ version of the wine-staging packages so that Bug Reports are verified to be coming from the WineHQ build of wine-staging and known to have staging patches.
winetricks:
Used to apply winetricks to wine prefixes, updated regularly from git
wlroots:
required for building gamescope
xdg-desktop-portal-kde:

https://github.com/timlau/yumex-ng
zed:

Fedora is not able to provide these, and we update our mesa version faster than RPMFusion does, therefore we cannot rely on RPMFusion to provide these.
nobara-resolve-runtime:
provides a runtime package composed of libraries from previous Fedora versions and a script for preloading them. This allows DaVinci Resolve to run. Since this is a hacked together package of previously compiled fedora libraries, neither Fedora nor RPMFusion provide it.
obs-studio:
provides obs-studio with the browser plugin. Cannot be built on COPR due to browser plugin requiring CEF, which Fedora currently does not provide.
obs-studio-plugin-distroav:
DistroAV is previously known as OBS-NDI. Since the NDI packages are not provided by Fedora, they come from RPMFusion and therefore cannot be provided via COPR.
rpmfusion-free-release:
provides the rpmfusion free repository files. cannot be provided via COPR.
rpmfusion-nonfree-release:
provides the rpmfusion nonfree repository files. cannot be provided via COPR.
steam:
provides the steam package. normally comes from rpmfusion. cannot be provided via COPR. we've modified it for faster download speeds:
@nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0

https://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/
We retain cross-compatibility with the negativo17 drivers as well, and the CUDA packages come directly from Negativo17 repositories.
Currently the only major difference is that we allow the modules to be stored in initramfs:
https://github.com/negativo17/nvidia-kmod-common/issues/16
