This process works for any UEFI-enabled computer, and any modern NVIDIA GPU. Honestly, try to get a radeon gpu if possible. Its open sourced drivers that are comparable to nvidia's proprietary drivers but a lot more stable as they have support from the open source community. Fedora provides NO support for Nvidia.

I am aware of similar questions to this one but none of them do solve my problem, My current operating system is fedora 26 minimal net-install with i3 windows manager, so it would be safe to assume that it is customly built Linux
The problem is that I want to get Nvidia Card driver to work, At least be able to choose at booting time which one to use, and at best enable nvidia-prime to have dynamic switching between both graphic cards
I tried bumblebee, rpmfusion nvidia drivers, the official one provided by nvidia, and finally negativo repos for rpm nvidia drivers(current one), they all gave similar results.I already blacklisted nouveau driver (it doesn't show up in
lspci ) and tried to blacklist i915 driver so I would see if nvidia driver will work or not, but it didn't
This is the current Xorg Configurations
when I change this line
Driver 'intel' to Driver 'nvidia' then do startx I kind of hangs, it doesn't accept any input, ctrl+c doesn't kill get me back to tty shell, but 'ctrl+alt+f2,f3' could move me to another tty when I move back to tty1 it doesn't display text there but rather screen freezes on whatever was already in the previous tty.

I think you are debugging at wrong level. Check whether X server work only answer your X server work or not. You can not check whether NVIDIA driver is successul loaded.
So you should start from checking whether nvidia is correctly installed and loaded. Boot into text console and run following command.
If it does not appear as belowed then your driver does not work
It enables the user to view dozens of file formats without having to use the traditional software used to open them.Using this tool, you can, for example, view PSD images without having Photoshop installed, read DOC files without Microsoft Word or any similar word processing software, open PDF files without Adobe Reader, and more.In addition, the Free File Viewer is also capable of multimedia playback, like for video, music, and animated images like GIF files. What is Free File Viewer?Sometimes, you just need a tool or program to quickly open and view certain files without having to install cumbersome software to access them.Bitberry Software’s Free File Viewer is an innovative solution to that dilemma.

If your driver does work, use the below command to generate a new x-config
Adobe acrobat 8 professional registration. Then replace your old Xconf with new generated one. It does not work, then this is time to blacklist drivers, disable BIOS,..

I can't see your report, so i'll come up with a generic answer:
For normal cards and BIOS, this guide should solve your problem, thought I think you'll have already considered all this, but maybe you missed a dependency or some line in the config files. It uses an nVidia driver installer rather than installing them by hand. In the past I've allways done it by hand, but this may solve your strange problem.
If your system uses nVidia Optimus technology (which I believe it is the case) its a bit more tricky to get it to work on Linux, bumblebee (which you already tried) is usually the way to go. You have two chances:
Please, dont downvote me because of the simplicity of my answer, I've not enough reputation to post this on comments yet, although this saved my live back in fedora 20-22 when I had a similar problem, so it should work.
