I got the updated Clear Linux desktop reinstalled with Nouveau at the moment, but the PTS tests hangs the machine on the Unigine tests. I don't think its PTS per se, but an old GF7 card. uname shows 5.1.xxx native, so that meets the NVidia installation criteria. As soon as I get a solid test result to complete on Nouveau, I will swap over to the 2 different NVidia driver sets available. If it keeps hanging on the tests I will swap the GF7 out for something more current.
I really like the Clear Linux performance, just got to get used to the integration requirements.

NVIDIA themselves fixed their driver during the rc stage and it was working fine at release http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2552
This is their usual thing. As long as you aren't using rc kernels you are fine for NVIDIA support.

Where on that page does it state that the nvidia driver needed patching for a kernel release?

It is confusing, it takes time to skim through it know what is written about, here in phoronix I read the headline and know if it is a interesting news to me (like RadeonSI change on LLLVM usage) or not (like RedHat/Scientific Linux new version)

openSUSE Tumbleweed also has a short and relatively easy page about installing nvidia drivers "the hard way".
