I should perhaps clarify. I have not run nvidia drivers for more than a year now, and at the time the Fedora kernel updates often came out before the associated nvidia packages, so then when you rebooted you had no video at all. Fixing this required manually installing the nvidia package which somehow screwed things up with the package manager version and then untangling all that was a mess. Of course I had some issues with the drivers themselves but that wasn't the worst of my problems. Maybe the Fedora/RHEL stuff improved since then, and maybe it was never an issue with other distros to begin with. All I know is I had plenty of problems.
