Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Drivers are part of the kernel.

But if you want to manually install your own drivers (say Nvidia proprietary ones) god forbid that’s an obnoxious process. It makes windows driver hell look quaint.

    You don't want that. Never install the drivers from the nvidia website on linux. The distros always ship their own and those usually get updated regularly as long as you aren't using Debian

    Even then that process sucks too. If you’re bleeding edge it takes a while for them to support new GPUs. And even when they do, the process can be ass/gives you ancient drivers.

    I just do it on fedora 43 and it SUCKED. I ran into so many errors, and even then I still have issues. Distros like mint make it easy, but you’re usually on crusty ass drivers and probably a pretty old kernel.
