    Because Ubuntu is really slow to update, which means you might have to wait months for driver updates to play the newest games.

    Also, a lot of people have Nvidia cards, and updating their drivers is a pain on Ubuntu.

    Most gamers are best served by an Arch or Fedora based distro that can include Nvidia drivers automatically.

      I’ve found that Ubuntu still has by far the easiest one-click Nvidia driver installer of any distro, and switching between driver versions (such as rolling back if a new driver is buggy) is also far easier on Ubuntu.

      I say that as someone who does not like Ubuntu in most other aspects.
