I just installed Fedora 22 coming from Ubuntu 15.04. The fans on my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad Y500) used to ramp up when the computer got warm under Ubuntu, where they don't seem to do that under Fedora. The laptop now just gets noticeably warmer all over the laptop and not just near the CPU/GPU. I am not running the Nvidia drivers right now, still on Nouveau.
Are there any additional drivers I should be installing that are proprietary?
Welcome To linux
Please refer to this topic: https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/how-to-get-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-using-a-repository/76661/10
Oops just realized thats for ubuntu users mostly I wouldn't know for fedora
Installing the Nvidia drivers isn't really my issue, I'm just lazy and haven't done it yet, I was just wondering if there were any other drivers besides the Nvidia driver I should be installing to better manage the laptop.
No.
If all your stuff works, no. Especially Wifi/Bluetooth used to not work without proprietary drivers. But now that most laptops ship with either a Qualcomm or Intel card for that stuff, this isn't such a big issue anymore.
