KDE After Install

Here is a cut and paste from my Tomboy Notes. Excuse the unedited sloppiness, but newbies may benefit from the NVidia Driver install, btrfs file system recognition, a better package manager,

I hope this helps someone.

Cheers, Mark

Which nvidia driver should I install? 361? I didn't get why you said 370 is also fine for your setup.
