Description Morgan Leijström 2025-01-06 20:10:45 CET 
We now have packages to load nvidia proprietary driver in initramfs, in order mitigate some problems by loading it early.

Idea from bug 31841 comment 42
 adding a button "[ ] load driver in initramfs" within the nvidia config options, just below "[ ] disable hardware acceleration".

Also consider handling when changing to another driver, see comments in bug.

This is something to consider to be the default option when seelcting proprietary driver in drakx11 as well as during Mageia install.
