== 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.
