*AND* because the fedora distribution does nothing to assist their users

party-line argument that third party drivers cause support problems kind
of falls on its face when the included driver doesn't work at all...
Nvidia supplies the driver, shouldn't they also supply the support
for it? After all, Nvidia is getting profit for selling the
hardware. They are also the people that know what is in the driver.
Why should someone else be expected to provide support if Nvadia
isn't willing to provide the source for their driver, or at least
the information needed so someone else can create an open source driver?
