I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf

And every time I have to force myself to tell them that its even Easier to install drivers on Linux, because you dont even need to know if you have an AMD or an Nvidia Card, you just open the Software and click on the recommended install

    The problem is kind of exactly what you described

    Normies are used to „run exe and it will work”, so when installing Linux most of the time they will either

    • not install any driver
    • try to run the exe
    • install the Linux driver, but from the website instead of the repos
    • or (as you described) try and install the driver, but fail at looking up which driver (nvidia has 4 of them for the rtx, gtx, and gt) they need to install
