As soon as nvidia was mentioned in the article a chill went down my spine reminding me of my treacherous experience trying to use ubuntu with the nvidia drivers back in 2007. Every second reboot the drivers would break and I would wind up having to reinstall it trough a VT. Re-installing the system multiple times didn't matter, following multiple different guides didn't matter, following nvidias own instructions to the teeth on a fresh system... didn't matter. Those drivers on Archilinux would also constantly break, but at least it was as a result of the system updating and not just rebooting. It took many years but I've been nvidia free for 6 years now and my system couldn't be more stable.
I haven't seen Fedora break in the last 2 years I've been using it, aside from a beta release upgrade I was curious to test that went wrong. I really think it's silly to put all the blame on shared libraries when there is a 99% chance it's the nvidia drivers fucking up again.
