Comment 52 for bug 1667158

@Pavel Thank you for the reminder. ;)

Yes, I agree with you. Do manual installation if you are prepared to spend quite a bit of time tinkering about. Else, a user will find themselves having to go through a steep learning curve about lightdm, systemd, Xorg, Grub2, kdms and administrator bash commands, and heartaches if some issues arise after installation..... Be Warned. Do take this route if you need to or are prepared to tinker.

For users who want to avoid any tinkering, it may be better to use the workarounds until a non-beta driver version get released and the ppa team updates their driver.
