The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    All this nvidia stuff is so complicated on Linux,

    I installed mint, opened the driver manager, picked the latest NVIDIA driver and it just worked. No idea what everybody is talking about …

    Granted I’m on an old 1080ti, so maybe that’s it …

      It is just to get newer versions of the proprietary drivers faster, and to have a more similar environment as developers. (Like if a feature of the driver is dependent on a new API just added to nearly most recent kernel)

      Kernel updates can bring better support for different hardware which as well can influence how well the GPU drivers work, like, improving them.

      😇but nice to hear that it works on your machine well 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
