I currently use pop!_os and that just came with them, but even then, most other distros I tried it was one command or one click in the package manager and done
I know the open source ones are a lot more finicky so maybe also depends on what you get :3
Same here. I’ve always grabbed the latest drivers from the Nvidia page and installed the dot run file manually from a command line. From there everything just works.
It’s mostly when you’re trying to optimize for power on a non standard distro. By default, they’re kinda a power hog but you can sorta turn off the gpu when not in use, it’s just fininky because Nvidia doesn’t want open source drivers that can go that low level. Thankfully don’t have to worry about it anymore after getting a non-Nvidia laptop for my latest daily.
Never had issues with nvidia :p… feels like im the only one
It’s not just you. Perhaps it depends on the distro?
I just had to click around a little when setting up Ubuntu 22.04 and it’s done.
Zorin comes with the Nvidia drivers if you want them
