F44 Final testing request: gnome-initial-setup hang on NVIDIA adapters

Hi folks!

We have a somewhat awkward proposed blocker for F44 Final:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2359799

The bug is that gnome-initial-setup can hang on the timezone setup
screen. This seems to happen only on some NVIDIA hardware.

There have been multiple reports of this on F42 and F43, but we have
not yet seen a report on F44. We're not sure if it's magically fixed in
F44, or just nobody with an affected system has tried it yet.

None of us on the RH team seem to have affected hardware,
unfortunately.

It would be great if more folks with NVIDIA hardware can test this.
Unfortunately, you can't test in a virtual machine, and you can't
really test on a live boot - I suppose you could hack things up to run
g-i-s directly in the live environment, but we're not absolutely sure
that would reproduce the bug. You sort of have to do a real install to
the hardware and boot to gnome-initial-setup to see the bug. So you
have to be happy to reinstall your system now, or do a dual boot
install, or have a test box with NVIDIA on it, or something. Please
don't do this testing on your production system if you're not sure
you're OK to install an F44 pre-release on it!

It would be useful to hear from anyone with NVIDIA hardware who can
just test an F44 RC1 Workstation install and see if they hit the bug,
honestly. But the *most* useful thing would be if somebody can install
F42 or F43 and confirm that they *do* see the bug, then try installing
F44 and see whether they hit it or not on F44.

Thanks a lot for any input anyone can provide!
