    I mean, if there are working drivers that don’t have issues, and you’re using those that do, it’s not entirely your fault, but also it’s your fault.

        There are graphical interfaces for it if you’re afraid of letters on the screen. You’re making it sound like it’s some kind of impossible ordeal, but even in shit distros (looking at you, Ubuntu) it’s just pressing checkboxes (or, OH HORROR, copy-pasting words in the terminal, I’m shaking even thinking about it right now).
        And yeah, it’s nvidia’s fault for making shit drivers, and distros’ mainterner’s fault for choosing shit drivers to be included, but since good versions of the drivers exist, you gotta take some responsibility for not using them.

      There aren’t. Some distros come with Nouveau alone, which is often awfully slow or lags behind in support for new cards. Some by now ship with nouveau + NVK, which is still unsuitable for demanding tasks and has bugs as NVK is still beta. And some ship with the proprietary Nvidia driver which is a hot mess. Changing something about this usually ends up in a mess due to how the Nvidia driver has to install itself into the system every time an update runs, and the fact you have to basically rip out a kernel module for it (nouveau).
