    I installed Linux Mint three days ago. Nvidia drivers got installed automatically and I was able to load up steam and play right away. No idea what this meme is talking about

      I remember it being like that already in 2014. The only thing especially annoying I remember was having to use optimus to manually switch between the “internal” Intel GPU and the dedicated Nvidia GPU to not run out of battery within an hour. But the whole set up thing was never an issue for me on Mint and Ubuntu even 10 years ago.

    It ain’t like it used to be. Just upgraded my machine to an Nvidia for the first time in like 10+ years.

    sudo apt install nvidia

    After a reboot it was smooth as hell. I remember the dark ages. I remember fucking with X.org settings. 😐

      Be happy that you live in the days where installing Nvidia drivers is as easy as it is right now… There were… darker times.

    I just installed fedora 40. Was absolutely amazed when my three monitors just worked. Installed some games and realized I had forgotten to install the Nvidia drivers. Installed them… Laptop locked up wouldn’t boot. Unplugged the third monitor and it started working. Screw Nvidia. Not buying another system with their trash. Fix your driver’s you selfish POS
