Well after all this "why we can't do a dam thing"
let's consider how to
help a new user of Fedora x who stumbles onto this list and is asking for
help with the usual nvidia problems. We need someone to get those people
headed in the right direction. I will be willing to do that. As I looked
today nvidia is a big company making a lot of money. My computer is full of
there stuff. Since Fedora x will just work terrible with nvidia I think we
must be ready to help.
As far as I can tell, those users does receive help, and sometimes a
nudge in the direction of graphics cards that don't need the
closed-source, proprietary drivers. (Like Intel graphics cards or now
recently, ATI.)
It is also not rocket-surgery to head over to
nvidia.com and click
through to the driver download site. It even works in
elinks. Out-of-the-box, Fedora tends to work rather well with nVidia
graphics cards.
It is admirable that you are volounteering to help these new users
though.
