Nvidia drivers

[Lawrence E Graves]

Thank you for your concern in this matter. I believe you are right. The 
nvidia drivers are always an issue in Linux. Be glad when linux can 
improve their nouveau drivers so that we won't need to deal with nvidia. 
I am running Fedora 25 and it is working very well except for the nvidia 
drivers. I use the Vmware Workstation and it will not run properly 
without the nvidia drivers. Other than that, Fedora is nice.
