=== Nvidia and Linux
The latest graphics drivers for Nvidia graphics cards are not open source or free.
Therefore, *we do not recomend purchasing a PC to run Linux that has a Nvidia graphics card*.

AMD and Intel both have open source drivers available with no user configuration required in Fedora Linux.
