Why does the folding software for Raspbery Pis contain NVidia bloatware (GPU drivers or something)?
No Raspberry Pi could run a GPU, could it?

Ask our distinguished developer at GitHub
I asked the same question for AMD systems, but I cannot repeat the answer to that

It turns out linux installed
nvidia-opencl-icd during the fah-client install. That was a whooping 28 packages using 363.2MB in total.
Only do this if you DON'T have a NVidia GPU
Run
Code: Select all
sudo apt remove nvidia-opencl-icd --purge -y && sudo apt autoremove -y
to remove
nvidia-opencl-icd and the other 27 packages that were automatically installed with it.
That will remove all the packages and the kernel customisations that they created.
