    mate one issue is the one installed by default on many distros is wrong, the idea that the average person is going to be able to run horrible commands to rip the kernel drivers back out again and force install a version that isn’t the one recommended by the repo (which is what I had to do to get mine working) is simply ridiculous. THAT is not a user’s 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.
