I don't know about AMD, but there is no real open-source driver from NVIDIA, just some reverse engineered thing (Nouveau). Yes, they've made an open-source driver, but they don't have the information needed from the manufacturers to do create a completely functional driver. NVIDIA provide a closed-source driver for Linux. But if you get it from NVIDIA, it's great at stuffing your operating system installation up, by stomping all over other things it has no business touching. There's a reasonably well packaged installer for it, that you do NOT get directly from NVIDIA, you get them from a repo such as RPM Fusion (there may be other repos, too, but I can't recall at the moment). It installs NVIDIA's closed-source drivers, but in a sane manner. https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
