You wanna tell,Fedora can't support this?

Of course it can. Everything will work, except accelerated 3D graphics. Basic video will work, but not 3D.

                                         So I have to buy a new system?

If you want hardware-accelerated 3D, yes. Or, you'll have to install Nvidia's binary blobs. But if you do that, and if afterwards you have problems with the kernel crashing, you'll have to remove Nvidia's non-free drivers, and reproduce the problem without them, before anyone will help you.

Funny.Very funny.

Yes. I've been watching this situation, for the last couple of years, with some amusement.

You Fedora rooters seem to forget that Nvidia unlike many other hardware builders DOES provide a "DRIVER" for Windows, not a surprise, but also for Linux! I know your trying to get a thing set up so you can yum Nvidia. It is not working well.

In the mean time you can and I did get the software made by Nvidia for Linux and yes, I must run it every time I accept a kernel change. This takes about 5 minutes.
