If anybody has experience with installing the nvidia drivers on Fedora, please help!
-
Im building a hackintosh for the heck of it. I guess ios doesnt like nvidia either. Amd is what is recommended if you want a problem free build.

@neerajwagh check arch documentation it is well documented there. I know the feeling of this guy. I still wait for official reliese of nvidia driver for xps15

@sevensins negativo's repo. I've got an optimus hardware. The Nvidia driver installs alright, can't get it to activate on boot. I suspect xorg.Conf not being set up properly, but I may be wrong. Any pointers?

I went through the same shit. This was the only blog which helped me: http://allaboutlinux.eu/remove-nouv...
Its for ubuntu though...worked for Linux Mint 18.1. -
@neerajwagh
To be more precise I have always used the old school method of using the proprietary nVidia drivers with DKMS, using Debian.
Never failed me....
But since you mentioned Optimus, which I understand is a bitch to configure, just go ahead and check out Bumblebee [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/...] as @cpt-ado has mentioned.
Also check this out as a reference

Fffuuuck you Nvidia, you worthless piece of shit company. There's a part of the world that doesn't use Windows. Grow the fuck up. Torvalds gesture makes complete sense when you get a new kickass laptop, load kickass fedora 25, but are unable to tap into it's graphic potential. You spend 2 days trying to install the fucking driver. The next day you decide to follow one blogpost instead of 2 and You're forced to reinstall fedora and the cycle repeats. The past 4 days have been painfully unproductive.
