I installed Linux Mint three days ago. Nvidia drivers got installed automatically and I was able to load up steam and play right away. No idea what this meme is talking about

Did he first have to travel back in time to a time when this was hard because that would break a man.
"Do you want to know where I got these scars?! I found a handy guide to installing the Wi-Fi drivers I needed, but I couldn't use it could I? Because it required that I already be online..."
I always use my usb to phone cable in these situations. Basically any distro has a driver ready to see the phoneβs hotspot network. Saved me a lot of times, lol
I do the same. In case someone wants to know how it works with an Android phone, you connect your phone to your PC over USB and then you get a notification on your phone that says something like "Charging over USB". If you tap on that, you can change the connection mode and one of the modes is "USB tethering". If you select that, your PC will have an internet connection over the USB connection to your phone. It's kinda like hotspot over USB.
I had to buy an Ethernet dongle for my Lenovo laptop for just such an occasion, and that was an adventure to get working.

I'm starting to think I'm some kind of Linux Genius because I've installed Nobara, clicked on "yes" when it asked me if I wanna install the driver and voilΓ . Never had an issue except steam flickering but I really don't care.

The best part of using Nvidia drivers on Linux was when a newer package version dropped support for my card, because fuck me.
Since then I became paranoid and started backing up all of my apt cache debs.

apt install nvidia-driver-xxx?
Sometimes you have to update the kernel headers too I guess.

Because of this I just use AMD
Same after a long career of nVidia cards, I finally swapped to AMD and have not been disappointed. And its sooooo easy..!
I just installed fedora 40. Was absolutely amazed when my three monitors just worked. Installed some games and realized I had forgotten to install the Nvidia drivers. Installed them... Laptop locked up wouldn't boot. Unplugged the third monitor and it started working. Screw Nvidia. Not buying another system with their trash. Fix your driver's you selfish POS
Sad situation indeed. This is why AMD plus Mesa is preferable...
Joker as a road weary Linux early adopter is going to live rent free in my head for a long time. Thank you for that.
i mean it's not hard at all depending on your distro...
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
wow that was easy
tries to run wayland
And that's how I became an x11 shill
The install part is easy. It's when some update breaks everything that the madness sets in

Then he tried using Wayland on nVidia, and the MF became the darkest Joker we've ever had.
Can i have a turn reposting this outdated moldy meme?
Funny enough I've had more issues with AMD drivers on my Windows machines than I ever have with nVidia on my Linux installs
Literally just changed to a different version by menu with nVidia a week ago when a text bug came up. Only issue on 2 different Linux installs with nVidia over the years.
Compared to ~8 years ago when I had to HUNT DOWN a veeeery specific driver version or my AMD GPU was like "lol idk how to be a GPU" on Win8 (or we're we using 20 by then I can't be assed to Google it), and even then it whined constantly and did weird shit
Of course AMD is fine now, wife's GPU installed no issue and it's from the same manufacturer, but still funny to me
install nvidia
The horror! Sometimes you even have to log out and bacd back in...
Be happy that you live in the days where installing Nvidia drivers is as easy as it is right now... There were... darker times.

I was considering eventually moving to Linux.
Now I'll wait till my current system gets an upgrade
It's really not that bad, especially if you pick a distro like Pop that has the drivers bundled so you don't even need to touch it

Oh my god now THAT is some method acting
That tracks
nvidia-inst
Profit.
I was broken long before nVidia drivers and Wayland.
I was crushed long ago while trying to compile the driver for a Sound Blaster Gold sound card for Fedora 6 and Mandrake 6. Two weeks and 20 pages of printed out instructions. Two weeks of hell in kernels. It should have worked. The terminal showed no errors and nor did the logs. But no sound came forth. I had to buy a boxed set for Mandrke 7 to get sound.
So here I sit with a fresh install of Fedora 40 on my trusty old Nitro 5 wondering if I should install the nVidia drivers and I hear the silent foot steps of that Sound Blaster........
But hey, at least my printer works.
pacman -S nvidia and I've never had any issues. I know that it's not that easy in some other distros, but maybe stop using shitty distros.

The recent developments for Nvidia drivers on Linux have been wild. Never thought it would happen
