Listen bro, I want to thank you. I ran with unsigned drivers no secure boot for Months, I tried to do this and it just never worked. I finally built a fresh Fedora install, and actually followed your instructions to the T and it worked first try. I am so happy there are people like you, that will make a video like this for no reason except to Help People. Thank You
Just wanted to say Thank You! I just switched to Fedora KDE (because of Windows recent development) and the Nvidia Driver always have been my biggest frustration.
So far so good, that worked really well. I can see the driver version. Thank you! My ASUS i5 laptop running Fedora 41 is not using the Nvidia yet, but I guess I need to find out why that is. But again, thank you!
The most useful guide for installing Nvidia Drivers on Fedora. Easily something most need as the Drivers are slightly more complica\zted on Fedora to install due to the key generation step.
First of all thank you and second, if anyone is having problems with resolution and refresh rate locks what i did was i installed the system updates and rebooted and it worked. (looking back should have restarted when installing the updates the first time)
Thank you so much!! I'm gonna be installing dualboot setup tomorrow so saving this one! (hopefully everything goes smoothly and I can install drivers for my 1660ti smoothly)
thank you for this video! just a question, my fedora freezes for like 30-60 seconds and goes back to normal. Will this get fixed with the drivers? Edit: I know for sure I have audio cause I can here the disconnect sound when I unplug my mousr edit 2: driver installed successfully! hopefully fixes it
Thank you! Finding your channel was a nice surprise. Even though it seems I installed the NVIDIA drivers successfully, my graphics information tab only shows a blank page.
Hmm strange... There was an update to the kernel module recently that has been causing some strange behaviors in control panels. Will update if I find out anything
i have an issue i am pretty sure i have the wrong driver when i restart it says nvidia kernel module missing falling back to nouveau when i type the last comand in the video i see the driver i have a laptop with nvidia geforce 750m
700 series GPUs use a different command to install the driver. This command will install the driver: sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx akmod-nvidia-470xx and this command will add optional CUDA support: sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-cuda Keep in mind the modules can take several minutes to build so wait about 5-ish minutes before restarting your machine.
There are different drivers for different GPU segments. 900, 10, 20, 30, and 40 series all share the same driver, but older 700 series, 600, and older have a different one. You can skip that step if you know for sure what GPU you have.
Sorry if someone already express this issue but I got this error message: error: Packages not found: akmod-nvidia ( just for context I already enrolled in Mok after installing bazzite when it restarted.) and then I got this message as well: error: Packages not found: xorg-xll-drv-nvidia-cuda Seems like Bazzite is as ware of both the integrated graphic and the NVIDIA but decided to make the integrated graphics the default. It won't for whatever reason use the NVIDIA! Also I want to note that the secure boot was turned of before Bazzite was installed because my Alienware would boot from a USB drive without secure boot being disabled!
Hello, I am totally new to Linux and came here because I can't get my refresh rate to be at 60hz in the display settings despite my cable, GPU, and TV all supporting 2160 60hz. But I'm hitting two walls: when inputting the command to 'enroll my key into mok' I get the response "EFI variables are not supported on this system". So I figured maybe this is because I don't have SafeBoot (which I don't entirely understand what that is but I believe it can be disabled and enabled in BIOS but idk what's safe to do). So I tried and skip this step and instead I reach my second wall at "install akmod-nvidia" where I get the response: "no match for argument: akmod-nvidia". Sorry if this was hard to follow.
@@TsuTsu2 you’ll need to make sure that the RPM non free and free repos are added. That should help with your second wall. As for the first, I believe different refresh rates won’t be available until the proprietary driver is loaded. I think it’s a limitation of nouveau. With your “EFI Vars aren’t supported” I believe that means your system either A) does not have safe boot, or B) safe boot as been disabled. Hope this helps a little 😄
@@skyevrSo! After a Google search I figured out the RPM repos stuff. And then I figured I didn't have a safe boot because I couldn't find it in my bios and that part still failed. But then I did the rest just fine and I'm pretty sure I got the drivers! So thank you very much! Unfortunately I'm still stuck at 30Hz so I'll have to do more digging. I enjoy VR too btw... just wanted to share that lol.
@@skyevrAaaaaah!!! Omg! I found it! It was actually a TV setting that I had to go searching through the 232pg manual to find it out and how to enable it. And I'm so confused why it isn't enabled by default. But thank you so much regardless. Drivers are (almost) always better to have. ❤
Everyone talking about newer drivers (probably for newer graphics cards). But what about older cards? I have a GT730 DDR5 card and the 470xx driver recommended by Nvidia made a mess. I tried 7 times, every time with fresh installation and every time it get stuck before logon screen on a 'Black-screen-of-death' with a blinking cursor. Then I wiped everything and again installed Fedora from scratch with the default 'NOUVEAU' driver. Now my photo and video editing softwares don’t recognise the GPU. 😭😭😭
I'm not entirely sure about using the older drivers on the older GPUs. The oldest Nvidia card I own is totally outside the scope of those drivers. But I'll update here if I find out anything.
I followed every instruction you gave and when I type "sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia" it fails saying "no match for argument: akmod-nvidia" any ideas for what could be causing this?
You'll need to add the RPM Fusion free and Non-free repos rpmfusion.org/ Select your appropriate OS version and architecture. For instance, I used 40, x86/64
When I made the key and rebooted (systemctl reboot) it just rebooted into Fedora, not the blue MOK screen. Edit: For anyone else that runs into this, just repeat the steps, create a new key. Worked without a hitch.
I have an Nvidia GeForce GT 730 based on GF108 GPU (Fermi) . I m on Fedora linux 40 with the last kernel 6.9 . is it possible to install nvidia drivers if so what the best driver version . thanks
It is! Run the following commands after enrolling MOK sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx akmod-nvidia-470xx sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-470xx-cuda
I would like to sincerely apologize for asking help, after installing the drivers, it seems that neither windows or linux are recognizing my Wi-Fi antenna. I have an Asus motherboard if that means anything. Edit: I solved this issue by removing the battery from my motherboard for 5 minutes
i did all but i still have low fps in CS2, windows sliding strange and when suspended it cant open just black screen and i get crashes and brightness doesnt change, why
@@emran1414 by any chance, do you have an integrated gpu alongside your dedicated nvidia gpu? If so, your computer might be using the integrated graphics instead of the dedicated ones

@@dex2369 yup. You’ll have to remove the old driver if that happens. I have the RPM instructions linked in the video description. The commands to do it are there. But it’s very straight forward

Nice! I had to figure this all out a couple days ago. Your explanation makes a lot of the steps I didn’t really understand make a lot more sense. Super clear As a couple of others have said, I can’t seem to (at least I’m not sure) get my nvidia Optimus laptop to use the nvidia gpu even after getting the drivers. Tried out a bunch of things but nothing has seemed to work. Any hot tips? I’d definitely appreciate any advice
I vaguely remember installing the proprietary driver on a 1050-Ti laptop with Fedora 38 but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Here's a page from the official Fedora docs that looks familiar on how to do it. Good luck! docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/set-nvidia-as-primary-gpu-on-optimus-based-laptops/
Not entirely sure myself, but it will need to be pushed into the RPM repos. Alternatively, you can use Nvidia's installer on their website but that does cause issues.
The module may not build if the key was not enrolled properly. Try walking through the steps again. There may be additional information on the RPM fusion guide that I linked in the description.
@@AbhinavPallath there is a couple of options. Personally, I use envycontrol to switch from integrated to dedicated. There is also supergfxctl if you have an asus laptop. I still use envycontrol even if I have an asus laptop.
Hi! I have a Gigabyte G5 MF, RTX 4050 with i5-12450H and had followed all the steps successfully. The only problem is that I have not been able to access my NVIDIA Control Panel, only able to see the base NVIDIA Settings (barebones; Application Profiles, nvidia-settings Configuration) on my NVIDIA X Server Settings. Is there a step that I'm missing or extra things I need to install? thank you!
If you want to see more settings in the Nvidia Control panel, you'll need to use an X11 based Desktop Environment. From what I can tell, those options don't really show up in a Wayland DE.
If anyone is getting an error when you run the "sudo mokutil --import /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der" command what I did is just followed the RPM wiki and the key was already enrolled. Kinda a newbie mistake I think that I should've known but hope this helps someone.
@@skyevr installing it also installed a "NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver" package from the software manager but when I open the Nvidia X Server it recognises the graphics card im using but its missing so many options.
@@skyevr also, I tried following this tutorial exactly until the end but now my graphics card isn't recognised after rebooting and the modinfo command does not find the nvidia module
Dual display is not working. One is connected with graphics card and other one is with motherboard. When not installing nvidia, it was working fine. Only one display is showing when using nvidia.
@@skyevr never figured it out but I did find that my saved kernels under grub worked still. I've since ended up with Debian and kde plasma and all is well in my world. Thanks for the reply.
The problem is not with the installation, It doesn't work on wayland, if you open the Nvidia control panel, you can't change anything. Lack of support for Wayland
> I forgot to mention it in this video, but as of writing Wayland is bugged on Linux. Weird stutters and screen glitches happen. What in particular? I have a GTX 1660 Super using the 555.58.02 driver on Fedora 40 and wayland, it seems to work okay. I think 555.58.02 resolved most of that. My Desktop is KDE 6.1.3 and Kernel 6.9.11. But in my case i'm not doing DaVinci Resolve and Cuda or gaming, maybe that's why it matters.
I have used Fedora Wayland with my RTX 4070 and I haven't experienced any problems with gaming for example, I have tried overwatch (it made some weird things the first 3 minutes but I think it was running shades on the background) and it performed great
There was some issues with it in the past, but current driver version (555.58.2) and KDE 6.1 have fixed a lot of the Wayland problems and it's actually functional now!
You can get nvidia installer from their website however this is not recommended because it can break your system due to dofferences between each distros.
It's not too difficult to install it. It just seems intimidating because of the need to use the terminal. Just double check what you're typing and you should be good to go. Unfortunately, there isn't a graphical interface. I wish there was though.
@@skyevr I switched to the beta and all my problems are gone, how can I make it so my base stations turn off automatically when I close? they remain on (and sometimes on Windows)
I’ve had the same issues on my arch, but sadly even switching to the beta doesn’t work. The room set up is broken and the refresh rate is really choppy. I’m using a amd card so there should be no issues.
@@Mtg2 There was some udpate that SteamVR pushed recently that screwed some things up. I'm getting a similar issue of the video being extremely choppy. Non-beta refuses to connect to the headset, and beta yields that strange issue... Will update if I find anything out
nope, didnt work for me at all. In fact I got to flash linux again for the 10th time. I do not understand if people dislike windows so much why is it so much easier to do all off these functions on windows, man, I have installed the control panel so many times, even checked with AI , and still haven't got the options you have, and the funny thing is I have done all the commands you have mentioned and it gave me a earlier version than what you had installed. which is fkn stupid in my opinon On windows, it will autodetect your driver and thats that. On linux if you are learning you got to spend hours trying to find the right answer and at the end of the day, you just use what is there. Basically giving up. Cuz nobody really knows what is what or wants to help. They just expect everything to go to plan. I like linux but ffs, installing simple things takes forever. Even on fkn gnome, you have to practically install the minimise and maximise button. Its fkn stupid. But anyways good video, but didn't help me. I do not know how you got that version since I followed the same instructions to the T. Linux, please just make a control panel just as good if not better than nvidia, cuz its so fkn stupid having to do all this just to edit some colours to be more vibrant. If I knew that at the start I would have just stuck to windows. no offense,
Hi so here's your issue. TL;DR I recommend a distro that's no so centered on FOSS. Ubuntu is a good one to start with. Even then, it's not guaranteed to work. Also, AI gives bad answers. Windows and Linux are fundamentally different operating systems at the kernel level. Windows has long since enjoyed a market dominance being well established since Windows 95. Thus, hardware that is being made will most likely support it out of the box. Windows is also designed to be an introductory user friendly operating system that will do a lot of the setup for you. Linux (Or GNU + Linux in this case if you want to be specific) Has not enjoyed such popularity. Linux is huge in the enterprise and cloud computing space. Making up a large majority of the Internet's back end. But as a consumer facing thing, its market share is extremely small compared to Windows. Drivers on Linux are often provided by individual maintainers or the developers of the particular distribution. Linux is also very focused on FOSS (Free open source software.) Where if there's a FOSS alternative to a particular piece of software (drivers included), it will be included over the proprietary one. Fedora (and most Linux distros that come with a DE) have an open source Nvidia driver called Nouveau. This is a reverse engineered driver from the proprietary one and thus lacks a lot of features. A lot of distributions though (Ubuntu as a prime example) Will automatically install the Proprietary Nvidia driver once the operating system is installed. Linux at its core is a modular operating system. It's meant to be picked apart and modified and changed. Those who use Linux either A) already know what they're doing or B) want to learn about it. Because it's not very popular it often requires a lot of steps for stuff to get working. There isn't one "standard" of Linux. The only thing the multiple distributions share are the kernel. Everything else can be completely different. While hardware support is something that everyone wants the hardware support for Linux just isn't near the levels for Windows. There are people who know how to help you just have to ask the right people. I'm seekng to make Linux more accessible to those who don't know how to use it. Figuring stuff out sucks. It really does, but it's very rewarding once you get the answer.
@@skyevr Well answered my friend will give you a like :) Also , I am answer b) Learning linux as I like bash and want to get into automation, stress testing and coding/programming or scripting. :D Just got a little frustrated. So sorry for my Karren comment.

@@skyevr Wait can I ask you is ubuntu lts 24.04.1 a good start for a beginner ? and or should I go nobora for the pre loaded nvidia drivers? :D i wanna experiment :) SO far fedora is a good distro but I feel like untill I kknow more about packages and commands, and ect I feel like I need a more regular user version.
@ never heard of Nobara, but Ubuntu is the most popular consumer Linux distro. It has the most software support and the largest community. You’re far more likely to find answers at the top of search results for Ubuntu
Even if most people don't like your comment, I fully support you, these many "freedoms" on your PC, are overwhelming most of the time for the normal user, those who just want to "plug and play" their devices.
I agree, I’m using linux, and it’s great for resource management and speed, but holy hell just running things properly is a nightmare and not worth the insane amount of time you need searching online on how to fix things
Nouveau is better than Nvidia's proprietary drivers, if your graphics card has officially been unsupported such as cards like the GTX series But thanks for this video
GTX 900, GTX 10, and GTX 16 series are still supported. Nouveau is great for basic system usage but it does not provide features like GPU acceleration, Cuda, and NVENC. Oddly enough some GPU drivers still work on the older Kepler cards (Like 700) but it's dicey from there.
You may need to reinstall the driver and wait a little longer for the module to build. If you're on a laptop the Nvidia GPU could be interfering with the iGPU

can i after the installing, go again in my UEFI Bios and enable microsoft boot manager again, on the second boot option ?
@@Fabtendo_X2 yes, you can reenable all other boot devices.
Nice! I had to figure this all out a couple days ago. Your explanation makes a lot of the steps I didn’t really understand make a lot more sense. Super clear
As a couple of others have said, I can’t seem to (at least I’m not sure) get my nvidia Optimus laptop to use the nvidia gpu even after getting the drivers. Tried out a bunch of things but nothing has seemed to work.
Any hot tips? I’d definitely appreciate any advice
I vaguely remember installing the proprietary driver on a 1050-Ti laptop with Fedora 38 but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. Here's a page from the official Fedora docs that looks familiar on how to do it. Good luck!

Hi,
Do you know how could we update to version 560 (nvidia driver) with this method?
Not entirely sure myself, but it will need to be pushed into the RPM repos. Alternatively, you can use Nvidia's installer on their website but that does cause issues.
hi i followed all your steps but at the end when checking the driver it says Module nvidia not found.
The module may not build if the key was not enrolled properly. Try walking through the steps again. There may be additional information on the RPM fusion guide that I linked in the description.

Would this work with Fedora 40? I'll give it a try regardless.
@@ARandomUser741 yes! I did this on Fedora 40
@@skyevr Thank you for the reply! That's good to hear!
Hi! I have a Gigabyte G5 MF, RTX 4050 with i5-12450H and had followed all the steps successfully. The only problem is that I have not been able to access my NVIDIA Control Panel, only able to see the base NVIDIA Settings (barebones; Application Profiles, nvidia-settings Configuration) on my NVIDIA X Server Settings.
Is there a step that I'm missing or extra things I need to install? thank you!
If you want to see more settings in the Nvidia Control panel, you'll need to use an X11 based Desktop Environment. From what I can tell, those options don't really show up in a Wayland DE.
If anyone is getting an error when you run the "sudo mokutil --import /etc/pki/akmods/certs/public_key.der" command what I did is just followed the RPM wiki and the key was already enrolled. Kinda a newbie mistake I think that I should've known but hope this helps someone.
If the key is already enrolled you can skip anything involving safe boot. You can skip straight to installing the GPU Driver.
AMD Radeon has better support in Linux?
what do you mean by that?
Yes, because of the open sourced driver.
does installing the Nvidia X Server from the software manager do the same?
No, that just installs the Nvidia application. You'll need to manually install the kernel modules as shown in the video.
@@skyevr installing it also installed a "NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver" package from the software manager but when I open the Nvidia X Server it recognises the graphics card im using but its missing so many options.
@@skyevr also, I tried following this tutorial exactly until the end but now my graphics card isn't recognised after rebooting and the modinfo command does not find the nvidia module
Now only one display is working, before both displays were working. How to enable both displays when using nvidia?
Dual display is not working. One is connected with graphics card and other one is with motherboard. When not installing nvidia, it was working fine. Only one display is showing when using nvidia.
When you install the proprietary driver, I believe the integrated video will be disabled. You'll need to connect the other display to the GPU.
@@skyevr i installed Linux mint and everything is fine even after installing nvidia drivers.
After installing the key, my wifi doesn't work. No option for wifi at all
Sorry for the late reply, do you have a Broadcom WiFi chip? A recent fedora update broke those so it could be that.
@@skyevr never figured it out but I did find that my saved kernels under grub worked still. I've since ended up with Debian and kde plasma and all is well in my world. Thanks for the reply.
i dualboot fedora with windows 11 ? it is a asus tuff laptop, is this setup compatible ?
Should be!
thank you
The problem is not with the installation, It doesn't work on wayland, if you open the Nvidia control panel, you can't change anything.
Lack of support for Wayland
A lot of the configurations are in your DE's settings application. Some are only accessible through the configuration file itself.
> I forgot to mention it in this video, but as of writing Wayland is bugged on Linux. Weird stutters and screen glitches happen.
What in particular? I have a GTX 1660 Super using the 555.58.02 driver on Fedora 40 and wayland, it seems to work okay. I think 555.58.02 resolved most of that. My Desktop is KDE 6.1.3 and Kernel 6.9.11. But in my case i'm not doing DaVinci Resolve and Cuda or gaming, maybe that's why it matters.
I didn't put an update on the video description, but the new driver update + KDE updates have fixed the Wayland problem.
What about wayland ?
I have used Fedora Wayland with my RTX 4070 and I haven't experienced any problems with gaming for example, I have tried overwatch (it made some weird things the first 3 minutes but I think it was running shades on the background) and it performed great
There was some issues with it in the past, but current driver version (555.58.2) and KDE 6.1 have fixed a lot of the Wayland problems and it's actually functional now!
We can't install this with gui? (without terminal)
You can get nvidia installer from their website however this is not recommended because it can break your system due to dofferences between each distros.
Nvidia's installer is a total hoopty LOL
generally it's a good idea to grab drivers from your distro's official repos.
Bir driver kurmak ne kadar zormuş. Keşke ubuntudaki gibi grafik arayüzü ile kurulabilseymiş.
It's not too difficult to install it. It just seems intimidating because of the need to use the terminal. Just double check what you're typing and you should be good to go. Unfortunately, there isn't a graphical interface. I wish there was though.
First, and sadly VR is still totally god damn busted on my KDE/Arch machine. Any luck?
Any particular error? Or does SteamVR refuse to start at all
@@skyevr I switched to the beta and all my problems are gone, how can I make it so my base stations turn off automatically when I close? they remain on (and sometimes on Windows)
@@fartsalad2456 That would do it! I ran the SteamVR beta for a little bit on my Fedora build and it fixed some issues.
I’ve had the same issues on my arch, but sadly even switching to the beta doesn’t work. The room set up is broken and the refresh rate is really choppy. I’m using a amd card so there should be no issues.
@@Mtg2 There was some udpate that SteamVR pushed recently that screwed some things up. I'm getting a similar issue of the video being extremely choppy. Non-beta refuses to connect to the headset, and beta yields that strange issue... Will update if I find anything out

The glory of FOSS by default distros haha
nope, didnt work for me at all. In fact I got to flash linux again for the 10th time. I do not understand if people dislike windows so much why is it so much easier to do all off these functions on windows, man, I have installed the control panel so many times, even checked with AI , and still haven't got the options you have, and the funny thing is I have done all the commands you have mentioned and it gave me a earlier version than what you had installed. which is fkn stupid in my opinon On windows, it will autodetect your driver and thats that. On linux if you are learning you got to spend hours trying to find the right answer and at the end of the day, you just use what is there. Basically giving up. Cuz nobody really knows what is what or wants to help. They just expect everything to go to plan. I like linux but ffs, installing simple things takes forever. Even on fkn gnome, you have to practically install the minimise and maximise button. Its fkn stupid. But anyways good video, but didn't help me. I do not know how you got that version since I followed the same instructions to the T. Linux, please just make a control panel just as good if not better than nvidia, cuz its so fkn stupid having to do all this just to edit some colours to be more vibrant. If I knew that at the start I would have just stuck to windows. no offense,
Hi so here's your issue.
TL;DR I recommend a distro that's no so centered on FOSS. Ubuntu is a good one to start with. Even then, it's not guaranteed to work.
Also, AI gives bad answers.
Windows and Linux are fundamentally different operating systems at the kernel level. Windows has long since enjoyed a market dominance being well established since Windows 95. Thus, hardware that is being made will most likely support it out of the box. Windows is also designed to be an introductory user friendly operating system that will do a lot of the setup for you.
Linux (Or GNU + Linux in this case if you want to be specific) Has not enjoyed such popularity. Linux is huge in the enterprise and cloud computing space. Making up a large majority of the Internet's back end. But as a consumer facing thing, its market share is extremely small compared to Windows. Drivers on Linux are often provided by individual maintainers or the developers of the particular distribution.
Linux is also very focused on FOSS (Free open source software.) Where if there's a FOSS alternative to a particular piece of software (drivers included), it will be included over the proprietary one. Fedora (and most Linux distros that come with a DE) have an open source Nvidia driver called Nouveau. This is a reverse engineered driver from the proprietary one and thus lacks a lot of features. A lot of distributions though (Ubuntu as a prime example) Will automatically install the Proprietary Nvidia driver once the operating system is installed.
Linux at its core is a modular operating system. It's meant to be picked apart and modified and changed. Those who use Linux either A) already know what they're doing or B) want to learn about it. Because it's not very popular it often requires a lot of steps for stuff to get working. There isn't one "standard" of Linux. The only thing the multiple distributions share are the kernel. Everything else can be completely different. While hardware support is something that everyone wants the hardware support for Linux just isn't near the levels for Windows. There are people who know how to help you just have to ask the right people. I'm seekng to make Linux more accessible to those who don't know how to use it. Figuring stuff out sucks. It really does, but it's very rewarding once you get the answer.
@@skyevr Well answered my friend will give you a like :) Also , I am answer b) Learning linux as I like bash and want to get into automation, stress testing and coding/programming or scripting. :D Just got a little frustrated. So sorry for my Karren comment.
@@AkameGaKill194 Linux is VERY frustrating thing. I've been using it for years and it still finds new ways to really piss me off. BASH Scripting is super duper cool and it's something that I'm learning right now :D

@@skyevr Wait can I ask you is ubuntu lts 24.04.1 a good start for a beginner ? and or should I go nobora for the pre loaded nvidia drivers? :D i wanna experiment :) SO far fedora is a good distro but I feel like untill I kknow more about packages and commands, and ect I feel like I need a more regular user version.
@ never heard of Nobara, but Ubuntu is the most popular consumer Linux distro. It has the most software support and the largest community. You’re far more likely to find answers at the top of search results for Ubuntu
that's why Linux will never be popular, only niche.
Give it time 😊
let us beta test... the end result is more freedom.
Even if most people don't like your comment, I fully support you, these many "freedoms" on your PC, are overwhelming most of the time for the normal user, those who just want to "plug and play" their devices.
@poochpanko Steam Deck rules!
I agree, I’m using linux, and it’s great for resource management and speed, but holy hell just running things properly is a nightmare and not worth the insane amount of time you need searching online on how to fix things
Nouveau is better than Nvidia's proprietary drivers, if your graphics card has officially been unsupported such as cards like the GTX series
But thanks for this video
GTX 900, GTX 10, and GTX 16 series are still supported. Nouveau is great for basic system usage but it does not provide features like GPU acceleration, Cuda, and NVENC. Oddly enough some GPU drivers still work on the older Kepler cards (Like 700) but it's dicey from there.
@@skyevr I did the same steps and on my GTX 1650, performance was sadly awful; I switched back to Nouveau and had no issues
I did this now. My fedora boots to a blackscreen =( what can i do?
You may need to reinstall the driver and wait a little longer for the module to build. If you're on a laptop the Nvidia GPU could be interfering with the iGPU
I got the same problem, upgrading the BIOS firmware to last version worked for me
