# Test of the NVIDIA fix on a real PC with an NVIDIA GPU (the unit test fakes
# one: tests/nvidia-test.sh). Run from the Steamify checkout:
# bash tests/nvidia-hardware-test.sh check read-only: what is detected, what the live kernel uses, what apply would change
# bash tests/nvidia-hardware-test.sh apply really applies the fix (sudo), then reboot and run check again
# bash tests/nvidia-hardware-test.sh visual after trying gaming mode: was the picture clean? (asks you)
# Every run appends to ~/steamify-nvidia-report.txt: paste that file when asking for help.
