nVidia: Loading out of tree module taints kernel problem.

[linux guy <linuxguy123@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello fellow Fedorians.

I have everything set up to run nvidia drivers for my GTX 1060.   But my machine loads nouveau instead, due to a tainted kernel message.

I turned off "Secure Boot" in the BIOS and enabled Compatibility Support Mode - UEFI.

How do I force the use of the nvidia driver over nouveau ?

Thanks
