Damn, who shit in your cornflakes this morning?
Their drivers have always been available directly from their website.
This app is just for Windows, I’m not sure why you’re blabbing on about package managers
Windows has 3 package managers. Chocolatey and scoop are third party while winget ia supported by Microsoft. There's even a 3rd party made winget gui that interacts with all package managers. BTW, you can download windows store apps through the package manager, and shocker, it installs faster then from the store.
So yeah, having nvidia drivers through any of the package managers would be cool.
I’m well aware of these. Winget is a disaster of a package manager. All of them just download and run conventional installers with none of the tidiness you get with real package managers on systems actually designed for them. It’s fun watching winget update an app that already updated itself. Do any other GPU vendors typically distribute their drivers through winget?
But the real answer here is Windows Update, which Nvidia does publish drivers through. But not game ready versions, only WHQL certified builds.
Not really nvidia's fault no one bothered doing it for windows users. I mean it sucks for gamers but nvidia hasn't cared about this market segment for a while now
Nvidia shit in my cornflakes, obviously.
by….not putting their driver on winget?
Let's not pretend like they aren't pushing people to use their data harvesting app.
I haven't used it since it was released. It's literally unchecked by default in the driver installer.
