    Fucking with display drivers to get your shit to boot is several magnitudes harder than ignoring an ad.

      At this point I’m not sure if this is a meme or what…

      Last time I switched distro a few years ago I tried a dozen of them (dropped the ISOs on a Ventoy drive). None of them had trouble getting a usable desktop of correct resolution.

      Now sure, if you want an optimal, accelerated driver, on some of them you may have to figure out that distro’s preferred way of doing it. But that’s also true on Windows. And on Windows the vast majority of people don’t bother beyond the install, because it makes no difference to them.

      Optimal drivers are essential only to a small subset of users like gamers and I expect a PC gamer to be able to figure out how to install a driver.

      But I repeat it’s not even an issue on most modern distros. (I have an Nvidia card too.)
