Hi All;
I just purchased the below system online from Lenovo, did a bit of
research and it seems like it should all work but I cut the research
short and ordered it mostly because I have a serious patience deficiency
My main question is around the NVIDIA card, for the past several years
I've been running laptops with integrated intel graphics and the default
nouveau driver and things 'just work'. I don't really need high
performance graphics like gaming or high intensive graphics operations,
just standard business usage.
Does anyone have any experience / insight per the below NVIDIA card and
Fedora (I'll be running Fedora 26 - KDE Spin)?
Is it likely I'll need to run NVIDIA drivers? If so is there an easy
setup without needing to install the native driver each time a new
kernel is released? Maybe something like the akmod-nvidia drivers?
Also, is there anything in the below specs that may be cause for concern?
Thanks in advance for any advice...
