No one has yet answered my question:
Is what is currently in RPM Fusion non-free 36 updates everything I need
to really fix the problem for f36?
That should need only a yes or no answer.
It may well be that no reader here who might have an authoritative answer and
seeing your thread title has read the thread. The thread title does not suggest
you have a package management issue, mush less and NVidia drivers issue.
understood.
yeah, I'm not a good writer.
It may well be that no reader here who might has an authoritative answer, or is
willing to speculate publicly.
understood.
The facts that others have responded that they are using those drivers
satisfactorily, and that others are not reporting trouble with rpmfusion's NVidia
drivers currently suggests the answer would be yes if anyone were to post a direct
answer.
ok.
Note that the vast majority of users ATI and AMD GPUs do not require non-FOSS
drivers, and for Intel GPU users, no non-FOSS drivers exist, regardless of distro.
Only NVidia among major GPU providers has a policy of withholding hardware
specifications that FOSS driver writers require for optimal results[1] that
indirectly imposes recurring kernel/driver mismatch problems for users of its
products. If and when an opportunity to replace your GPU occurs you may wish to
consider a different brand. Or, like some people do (e.g. me), use the FOSS
drivers without concern that their GPU is capable of performing better.
[1] NVidia has recently modified its policy, but it only affects its recent products.
(responded to privately)
I'll submit a separate post for the next question(s).
