The funniest thing about proprietary nvidia drivers on linux is that they're still easier to install than using the GeForce app lmao.
dnf install akmod-nvidia
No sign in to a fat game launcher ad ridden app to upgrade your GPU driver
The majority of boomers are 18 or older. The youngest are 13.
So it sounds like the wall was written to police more than just porn sites? Or is this companies doing this to harvest your data?

The actual Nvidia driver settings window or all the gamer crap build on top of it that demands you make an account?
Don’t get me wrong, this law is awful but also just deinstall that piece of bloat, good old Nvidia control panel is all you need and works entirely offline without account or did something chance since i left windows?
They're gradually moving all the functionalities of Nvidia Control Panel to the Nvidia App. All the new features can only be accessed from the Nvidia App.

What has the setting of nVidia or visiting the Wikipedia to do with child protection? Certainly old guys which confuse a remote control with an smartphone , don't should be authorized to make internet laws.
