A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nvidia GPUs require a custom kernel module. If you expect the average user to care that much about their computer, you are silly.
I know exactly what modification I've done and why. In fact, lots of distros ship with these modules then don't update them properly. Despite that I've solved this issue many times. It's just a time-consuming task that I don't want to do. I have other hobbies.
You know nothing of what you talk about. You are extremely biased as you've pointed out in your other comments and proud of it. No one is saying people shouldn't use Linux, people here are saying they don't want a chore for an OS.
Also, your attitude is the biggest reason Linux isn't a popular desktop OS. The Linux community keeps mass adoption away with this sort of attitude. I recommend stopping this conversation at the risk of truly exposing yourself as the angry troglodyte you are.
