We have developers working really hard to make things just work in a<br>

what defines fedora for what it is. </blockquote><div><br>The best way to win this "tough battle" is to provide precise instructions on how to get rid of NVIDIA kernel modules once there're installed. If you can't dig this I don't believe it's any use discussing.<br>

should support nvidia binary blobs or not.</blockquote><div><br>Where did I say you should "support nvidia binary blobs"? Is giving instructions on how to uninstall the module any way to support NVIDIA drivers?<br>
<br>In my world, if you explain how to install the NVIDIA driver and get teh Nouveau driver out of the way -- and RPMFusion does this! -- you support NVIDIA. If you do the opposite, you support Nouveau.<br><br>If Nouveau developers can't understand this, my take is that, as bad as NVIDIA support can be, Nouveau's going to be worst. Providing instructions on how to install a driver seems to me like a bare minimum.<br>
