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

“I know what no one wants to admit - that everybody is just one bad day away from copy/pasting a curl command that pipes a remote script into sudo.”

I like this meme but installing nvidia drivers is easy tho?

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.

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

<package manager> install nvidia

The horror! Sometimes you even have to log out and bacd back in…

I did it on Arch and no problems!

Arch, BTW.

Also, I’m told it’s going to really fail at some point, but so far, pacman -Syu has worked like a charm.
