Re: need to make an edit on NVIDIA article

Hi Justice,

Do you want to remove the entire "#8" from Installation? This entire section:

8. After reboot, go to ‘Show Applications’ on the side bar, and open up the newly added NVIDIA X Server Settings application. A GUI should open up, and a dialog box will appear with the following message:

NVIDIA X Server Prompt

Take the application’s advice, but before doing so, ensure you have your NVIDIA GPU on-hand and are ready to install. Please note that running nvidia xconfig as root and powering off without installing your GPU immediately may cause drastic damage. Doing so may prevent your computer from booting, and force you to repair the system through the reboot screen. A fresh install of Fedora may fix these issues, but the effects can be much worse.

If you’re ready to proceed, enter the command:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

If the system prompts you to perform any downloads, accept them and proceed.

Hello everybody,

It's been brought to our attention that part of our guide uses a technique that could cause problems according to RPM Fusion, and we would like to
make appropriate edits.

We would need to remove bullet point 8 under 'Installation' and replace
'Then, reboot once again.' in bullet point 7 with, 'If you're using an
older GPU or plan to use multiple GPUs, check this website
<https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA?highlight=%28CategoryHowto%29> for
further instructions.'

Also, at the end of the article, could we add '*Coauthored by Matthew
Kenney and Justice del Castillo.*'

Thanks y'all,
jdc
