I'm running fedora 28 on a system with an nvidia GTX 1070, using the binary drivers from negativo17's repository - and I have no issues with that setup whatsoever. Installing the nvidia-driver and akmod-nvidia packages was enough to get it working flawlessly, and I haven't had to touch that setup since (except when testing too-new kernels).
