If you encounter any problems which are not described in documentation, you might get help from members of the community - developers, users, and others. There are many ways to get help: the Ask Fedora website, mailing lists, forums, or IRC.

== Workaround for nVidia GPU's
Fedora ships with the FOSS "nouveau" drivers for using nVidia GPU's. Unfortunately, these sometimes do not work, especially with newer nVidia GPU's.
If you have a nVidia card and try to boot a Fedora live USB and get a blank screen, there is a good chance that your nVidia GPU is incompatable with the nouveau drivers. To be able to install Fedora, do the following:
1. When booting the Fedora live USB, press`e` on the GRUB screen.
2. Find the line that starts with `linux` or `linuxefi`. Go to the end of that line and add `nouveau.modeset=0`
3. Continue booting by pressing `<crtl>` + `x`
4. Install Fedora to disk from the live USB
5. On the first boot of the newly installed system, repeat steps 1-3.
6. Once in the installed system, install the nvidia drivers from https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA[rpmfusion].
7. Wait a few minutes (for the kernel modules to build themselves) and then reboot.
Your nVidia GPU should now work using the nVidia drivers.

Fedora is a huge project. Some of us will remember when we first started getting involved in Fedora. It was not easy to get an overview and to find a way to contribute one's interests and skills in the best possible way. Fortunately, we now have an initiative to pave the way for new participants and provide some guidance. Have a look at https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/join/#_not_sure_where_to_start_come_hang_out_with_us['Not sure where to start?

== How to help us and give you back a better working Fedora
The Fedora Documentation Project only actively maintains documentation for the most recent release and the one before it. We also preserve older documentation on this site for historical interest and to acknowledge the generous contribution of time and effort by many, many writers and translators.
