In the past I've used fedup to upgrade and now, of course, dnf. In neither case were the nvidia drivers removed/replaced with nouveau. This is using the nvidia drivers supplied by rpmfusion. Additionally, using the akmod-nvidia as opposed to relying on rpmfusion to supply kmods will free you from having to wait or worry about rpmfusion repositories keeping in sync with released kernels. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
