*AND* because the fedora distribution does nothing to assist their users
in installing the driver that Nvidia makes freely available. The
party-line argument that third party drivers cause support problems kind

That's not the "party line". Problems occur in all drivers. If the code
is open it can be fixed by other people besides the vendor.
