Had to install this app which then made me sign in (using my work PC) to update the firmware on my damn controller. Wish there was a way to do this in Linux. I’m so over Microsoft’s crap.

    Nvidia does the same shit for GPU drivers, it’s obnoxious

      You can download the Nvidia app (not GeForce Experience) that doesn’t require signing in

      I downloaded new drivers today without an account, but there’s dark pattern bullshit trying to get you to install GeForce Experience. I didn’t need to sign in to download drivers though.

      Wait for real??? You make an NVIDIA account now? I haven’t had an NVIDIA card since my 980Ti… Is this account insanity true for the proprietary Linux driver too?
