Well, It is not surprising due to the AI boom that GFX card makers are finally paying real attention to *nix.

>AlmaLinux OS 9 and 10 now ship with packages enabling native NVIDIA driver support, including CUDA and Secure Boot. Thanks to ALESCo, NVIDIA, and this approved RFC, AlmaLinux 9 and 10 solves that for NVIDIA users by shipping NVIDIA’s open source graphics driver as a kernel module, along with a repository config for many of the common userspace and CUDA components. With AlmaLinux 9 and 10 and the new NVIDIA packages, a few dnf commands are all that stand between users and a fully-integrated NVIDIA experience.

The nvidia package is probably going to be anywhere between 200-550 mb as a fair warning. That has been my experience in the past. I use AMD now though.

I think that size is what manjaro downloads, just a bar on the hardware installer so no MB/GB sizes for the packages downloaded, kink of like windows, it'll be down when it's done attitude with just a progress bar.

I hope the xfce installer/packages is in the ISO also just a version ten dvd iso no package with a specific gui listed which is different since most do that to save bandwidth instead of including them all in one ISO.

Yeah, Still going to need to run updates though. Not on install to at least get working and setting up your env but it's going to need it. My experience is at least a extra gig or two of updates after install unless the ISO was JUST released.

If it's got the open source nvidia then that was 8/6 so it's likely a relatively recently updated ISO I hope since my wifi only gets around 1 mb/s download speed max.
