When I first installed <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> 29, <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/nouveau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nouveau</span></a> wouldn't run for more than eight hours without crashing the kernel, possibly because I had two video cards. Every crash cost me a lot of SSD wear, because I'd set up a complex LVM configuration that needed to resync. I decided to install the binary drivers, did some googling, and arrived at some instructions on a site called 'if not true then false'. Those instructions left my system unbootable, which is why I'm not linking to them.</p><p>Fortunately, the instructions on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/RPMFusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RPMFusion</span></a> are easy enough to follow (at least for people who can use the command line, which is not everyone), and they work every time.</p><p><a href="https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>That said, the proprietary <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/nvidia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nvidia</span></a> drivers themselves are as ropy as hell. I dread upgrading, because every release brings new bugs. I wish I'd chosen different graphics cards. Everything else about my system is nice and stable and a credit to Fedora, but Nvidia's drivers (which Fedora does not control) are a pain in the neck.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@fedora" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>fedora</span></a></span></p>
