    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.

    pacman -S nvidia and I’ve never had any issues. I know that it’s not that easy in some other distros, but maybe stop using shitty distros.

      This is the most Arch Linux comment I’ve read in a while. This is easy in most mainstream distros now, but there are exceptions like NixOS or Gentoo, which aren’t shitty but are just harder for specific reasons.
