Is the VGA port on your dGPU or iGPU? I know Fedora uses Wayland by default -- are you using wayland or X.org on elementary?
i was using the dGPU, but i will try to use the iGPU next if it doesnt work and simply not use the gpu then, i just installed elementary to see if it was a fedora issue but no, i reinstalled fedora now and im going to try that out
im using wayland on fedora
Are you using wayland on Elementary?
What's your exact hardware?
Did you install with secure boot disabled?
Probably Nouveau issue. ⚠️
For installing Nvidia drivers on Fedora:
Or give Universal Blue a try, take the pain away:
Atomic desktops are cool.
Also available as Bazzite for 🎮:
Or Project Bluefin for 🖥️ dev:
+1 for uBlue. Everything comes installed ootb and just works without getting in your way
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8H61-M LX3 R2.0 Intel i3-3220 (4) @ 3.300GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 Rev. 2
That's my hardware
I honestly rather not install nouveau since iknow it can cause issues and i wouldnt mind installing nvidias proprietary drivers if it makes it work since its not even for me
do you know if i should install the 470xx or the one just called nvidia drivers in the app store?
ill give it a try to the rest tho, thanks!
Are you using the legacy Nvidia drivers? They dropped support for the 600 series gpu, so you'll need to make sure you're using a driver version "470.something?
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
