[BozemanLUG] Regarding Fedora 23 and nVidia proprietary drivers?

[Lou Caudell]

I had nvidia issues a couple of Mint versions ago. Only the direct 
nvidia download worked well. Built in, or open source drivers did not 
play well and versions were not documented. It was hit or miss as to 
whether the code version would work with the OS, X, or Gnome. Getting 
rid of them was hell. Of course Mint didn't like the fact that it was a 
proprietary driver. Mint 17 seems to work well out of the box, but I'm 
no serious gamer either.
