Sure it is if you consider RPMFusion official (and I don't even remember properly if they carry it.) I'll let you have that so I don't have to explain known facts like the ones that are kind of stated here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items?rd=ForbiddenItems#NVIDIA_Proprietary_Graphics_Drivers -- https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers I'm no Fedora or OpenSuse user so I'll take those as facts that pretty much imply that it would be impossible for them to be in sync or close to in sync which leaves Arch and all the others that I'm not willing to verify. Did you pull this magic metric only from Arch and then claim somebody else lied? I only assume to ask that question because you did briefly mention Arch. > It's silly to think that a distro cannot keep up like that, many already > do, and they work pretty well. Almost as silly as you thinking it's Ubuntu's job to be your hardware vendor and give you the latest drivers? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
