    people always complain about nvidia drivers on linux, but personally my experience has never required anything more than sudo apt install nvidia-driver

      Arch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.

      I’m not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all…

        Returning Arch user (absent since 2008/9) here, using Plasma Wayland. Overall a positive experience but there’s lots of little finicky things to setup, and I haven’t tried using linux-zen like in my EndeavorOS work laptop, I imagine that’s a bit more finicky with DKMS.

        Nothing out of the ordinary for Arch thus far though, just manual configuration.

      Cyberpunk, Witcher and Mount & Blade II won’t boot for me on Nvidia. I have to use Windows in VM or dual boot for those games
