I read that, but in fact I really wouldn't be amused, if I would have to download and compile the Nvidia packages myself. I hope, that there will be any repo to automatically do that job on an upgrade. It is not a "big thing". it only amounts to running an script and answering a few questions or passing a couple of parameters and remembering to run the script when the kernel or mesa packages are updated.
so you*can* be amused.
It's not a really big thing if you're doing it to the computer in front of you, but I do remote maintenance on a couple-dozen systems. Ah well, yet another reason for my employer to keep me around... :-)
Yes, I can understand your angst, for want of a better word, about this. And what puzzles me is that when I install, say, oS/Leap on the laptop it automatically installs the correct nvidia driver for the Nvidia chip in the laptop and yet when it comes to the desktop the (driver in a wheelchair called) nouveau is the default driver -- and even this one often fails to produce an image at installation time (I had to issue the 'nomodeset' command before I could proceed to install Leap 42.3 Beta).
