    That's not accurate. Fedora supports 3D, just not Nvidia's proprietary,
    closed-source implementation of 3D support for their driver. Please
    don't tell your boss that Fedora doesn't support 3D. Instead, suggest
    to your boss that it might be wise to consider not purchasing video
    hardware from NVIDIA, who refuses to release the specifications of their
    cards so that it is possible for someone to write a true open-source,
    non-broken version of the nv driver which contains 3D support.
