It does! Just not the closed source ones. The nouveau driver is automatically used, and where support is good, it just works. You’ll notice that the good AMD GPUs run out of the box (for the most part) because their driver is part of the kernel. Nvidia doesn’t share their closed source drivers, and often drops support for older (but common) GPUs. There’s no legal way that Fedora can distribute the closed source drivers, except to make a repo available to add. It’s up to the user to install and configure the third-party driver. — Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
