In other words try it first, as long as you have video (you might have

reasons for not using the vendor drivers are non-technical, they install
and work fine.

I don't know about ATI, as I've never used it.  However, Fedora will start out
using the nouveau driver for nVidia, which works fine as long as you don't need 3D.

Good that it works for you. I have installed on several laptops which need "nomodeset" to come up, and don't really work in a stable manner with the nouveau driver. Perhaps the desktop support is better, using different chipsets. Use what works, clearly.
