Okay, you just lost the benefit of the doubt here. I'm going to respond to this, and this is my last message to this thread. I hope nvidia can provide you with the assistance you need. The Fedora project is not hostile to nvidia. On the contrary, we'd love to support nvidia GPUs. To that end, we provide up to date packages for the Nouveau driver. Nvidia only releases proprietary blobs, instead of a proper driver. We can't do anything with that. We can't make it compatible with Fedora, because it is proprietary. This has been a problem with nvidia for over a decade, to the point that there is now that famous clip of Torvalds giving nvidia the middle finger. There's just nothing we can do, unfortunately. If whatever application you're talking about is FLOSS, it'll likely not be a problem, as the end user could simply compile your software to run on their system, or install it through the package manager. At worst, they'd have to patch your software to work on an updated system like Fedora. Fedora does not maintain RPMFusion. We literally cannot support nvidia's proprietary drivers, as.. they're proprietary. Have a good one. - - John M.
