Is it that bad? I have only experiences with AMD on garuda linux for reference and ot works mostly fine with the exception that audio occasionally stops working for one or two seckns during videos.
It’s not at all this bad. Most distros either have the driver in their repos or a simple way of adding a repo that has it, after installing it, it usually just works.
It might potentially be this bad if you are installing from the NVIDIA webpage, but that is almost never the recommended option and I don’t really see anyone with any Linux experience trying it these days (unless of course you are using a distro that doesn’t have it in repos)
Agreed.
And then there is the combo of the most recent NVIDIA driver and Debian Kernel that doesn’t work together.
First time I actually had to downgrade a Kernel update though.

But I guess this could happen with every driver
