    Sure bro, all the endless people having issues with those shitty drivers are at fault. Nvidia is making a whole new driver because they just love to do it, not because the old one is a huge mess.

    I’m doing my best helping family and friends with these things on various distros, but by now they all moved over to AMD or Intel or are in the process of it; even swapping out RTX 3000 series cards because the driver keeps fucking up and the Wayland support is a hot mess. Every single time the constant issues and glitches vanished once the Nvidia was thrown out. Nvidia on Linux is just hot garbage.

      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.
