Hey Link,

After getting some user feedback, we think adding this:

"Finally, to ensure a successful reboot, set "WaylandEnable=false" in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf, and make sure to avoid using secure boot."

to the end of first paragraph in Installation step seven would solve
reported problems.

Done. The way this guide is written, do you think you'd be interested in replicating it on docs.fedoraproject.org, maybe as a Quick Doc (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/quick-docs/en-US/index.html)? Guides there can be edited over time, as their topic evolves, whereas an article cannot.


Also, we've been hearing a lot about how this article seems to support
proprietary products, so if you think it would be appropriate to add a
disclaimer to the beginning of the article, we typed this one up:

"Disclaimer: Neither Fedora Magazine, nor the authors of this article,
support or endorse NVIDIA software or products, and recommend the use of
open source alternatives where possible."


This article has been a very hot topic these last couple weeks. I'm not sure that disclaimer would do anything to quell the grumbling. NVIDIA as a topic is polarizing in the Linux community. This article avoids opinion and sticks to a straightfoward, practical installation guide. I like that about it, so I think we can go without a disclaimer. Thanks though!

Thank you for helping with these edits.
