New NVIDIA card with F26?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All;


Apologies in advance for cross posting, I posted this question to the Fedora KDE list as well.


I just purchased the below system online from Lenovo, did a bit of research and it seems like it should all work but I cut the research short and ordered it mostly because I have a serious patience deficiency


My main question is around the NVIDIA card, for the past several years I've been running laptops with integrated intel graphics and the default nouveau driver and things 'just work'. I don't really need high performance graphics like gaming or high intensive graphics operations, just standard business usage.  


Does anyone have any experience / insight per the below NVIDIA card and Fedora (I'll be running Fedora 26 - KDE Spin)?

Is it likely I'll need to run NVIDIA drivers? If so is there an easy setup without needing to install the native driver each time a new kernel is released? Maybe something like the akmod-nvidia drivers?


Also, is there anything in the below specs that may be cause for concern?


Thanks in advance for any advice...
