I don't think NVidia drivers can be eradicated so easily. NVidia provides instructions for their installation, which include instructions for their removal. If removal instructions aren't followed, the library tainting they cause and/or .conf files they create can remain, thus thwarting any attempt to use any competent FOSS driver. This is an example of what should be seen running F36 on an old NVidia GPU using only FOSS: # pinxi -C --vs pinxi 3.3.22-13 (2022-10-27) CPU: Info: quad core model: AMD Phenom II X4 965 bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 2 MiB Speed (MHz): avg: 3423 min/max: N/A cores: 1: 3423 2: 3423 3: 3423 4: 3423 # pinxi -GSaz --zl --hostname System: Host: gb970 Kernel: 5.19.17-200.fc36.x86_64 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 2.37-36.fc36 parameters: ro root=LABEL=<filter> audit=0 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 audit=0 plymouth.enable=0 noresume mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 selinux=0 vga=791 video=1440x900@60 5 Desktop: Trinity v: R14.0.12 tk: Qt v: 3.5.0 info: kicker wm: Twin v: 3.0 vt: 7 dm: 1: TDM 2: XDM Distro: Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six) Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GF108 [GeForce GT 630] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nouveau v: kernel non-free: series: 390.xx+ status: legacy-active (EOL~late 2022) arch: Fermi code: GF1xx process: 40/28nm built: 2010-16 pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 16 ports: active: DVI-I-1,HDMI-A-1 empty: VGA-1 bus-ID: 01:00.0 chip-ID: 10de:0f00 class-ID: 0300 temp: 50.0 C Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.20.14 driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa dri: nouveau gpu: nouveau display-ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 3600x1200 s-dpi: 120 s-size: 761x253mm (29.96x9.96") s-diag: 802mm (31.57") Monitor-1: DVI-I-1 pos: primary,left model: NEC EA243WM serial: <filter> built: 2011 res: 1920x1200 hz: 60 dpi: 94 gamma: 1.2 size: 519x324mm (20.43x12.76") diag: 612mm (24.1") ratio: 16:10 modes: max: 1920x1200 min: 640x480 Monitor-2: HDMI-A-1 mapped: HDMI-1 pos: right model: Dell P2213 serial: <filter> built: 2012 res: 1680x1050 hz: 60 dpi: 90 gamma: 1.2 size: 473x296mm (18.62x11.65") diag: 558mm (22") ratio: 16:10 modes: max: 1680x1050 min: 720x400 API: OpenGL v: 4.3 Mesa 22.1.7 renderer: NVC1 direct render: Yes Note that the X display driver is modesetting, not the reverse-engineered, "experimental", optional nouveau provided by xorg-x11-drv-nouveau. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
