people always complain about nvidia drivers on linux, but personally my experience has never required anything more than sudo apt install nvidia-driver
Arch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.
I’m not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all…
It works fine on a desktop with a single GPU mostly. Though I have had issues with multi monitor setup at work with xfce and xorg. I actually had a better experience with gnome and wayland, in terms of multi monitor support.
That said, all my own non work computers I use AMD/intel these days though. It just works now. I did have a bad experience years ago with an nvidia optimus laptop, where I couldn’t use the displayport without permanently enabling the nvidia GPU, killing battery life.

@DaPorkchop_ @Echolot nice
Cyberpunk, Witcher and Mount & Blade II won’t boot for me on Nvidia. I have to use Windows in VM or dual boot for those games
