That's because you don't understand it.
What is "it"?
The discussion was about packages of doubtful legality.
nVidia's own Linux drivers are perfect legal.
Get it?
Exactly. If you found the right repository, you could get it. Both in

Apparently you didn't do it very well.
I don't have an nVidia card, so I didn't have to "do it",
whatever "it" is.
Are you saying I didn't run "google" very well?

Bizarre.
It takes many hours less grooming than any fedora (or windows) box I've
