well it comes with drivers built in the kernel

so amd drivers, intel igpu drivers...

you would need to install the propriatary drivers for nvidia gpus though, dont think they come included

[digital jay]

thanks 👍

@digital jay do you have an nvidia card?

[timid glen]

well, all kernels come with all drivers, any card will work on any distribution. no distrubution ships with nvidia drivers (unless they have some sort of a seperate image, like pop_os), only the open-source ones

[digital jay]

yes

[timid glen]

if you want the properitary drivers, i can guide you thru.

[digital jay]

i want it as the sole gpu, though, and from what i have tried, it just bricks the system

@digital jay If you have a Nvidia card, be prepared, it may not boot right away

Most of the time it would, but in some cases it will throw a tantrum first

[digital jay]

apparently newer versions of fedora introduced a bug that prevents the system from booting due to the nvidia drivers not being compiled at start up, because its a third party package

blendos does ship with nvidia drivers in its main iso and installs them automatically in case there is an nvidia gpu present in the system
