This is for all you NVIDIA users out there who use manually installed NVIDIA drivers.
In this video, I test and install NVIDIA drivers with the latest stable kernel 6.3. The findings are actually quite interesting, apart from the problems.
I have maintained a custom version of the kernel for a long time, because the Virtual Consoles have not worked correctly with NVIDIA drivers. Originally this change https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceFbdevDrivers broke this totally. Would there finally be a fix for this?
