Of all the Linux nitpicks, you chose the one wrong answer.
Linux is way better with automatically installing drivers than Windows. Unless you’re using Nvidia, it’s literally in the kernel.
Linux has the issue of lacking in enterprise media software like Microsoft Office and Adobe Products. The former of which has long since become a non-issue. Adobe however persists. And some games will never run so long as the devs hold them hostage on anti-proton anticheat varients.
They didn’t imply that little people were using Nvidia GPUs, he is referring to the fact that you do like…2 extra clicks or so to install Nvidia’s drivers? You don’t even need to open a web browser!
Pretty much every distro offers an easy way to install nvidia drivers.
It’s the peripherals that really need drivers. I remember having to install digimend drivers for my friend’s graphics tablet for example. That said, it wasn’t supported well on Windows either and performed better on my Linux setup than on Windows once I did find out about the digimend drivers.
Driver troubles for peripherals aren’t uncommon in Windows either. Don’t get me started on printers. Somehow, printers and scanners have always been plug and play for me on Linux, contrary to what I often hear.
What are you even talking about? Hardware issues in Linux are neverending, not just Nvidia. How’s your HDR support going? DRM support? Can you plug multiple monitors and have different DPI settings on them yet? Got AptX LL? Let’s be real - fuck all works on Linux.
Widevine DRM works in both Chrome/Chromium and Firefox. HDR Support is nearly done. Yes, we can have different DPI/Scaling per monitor thanks to Wayland.
Adobe Photoshop is the only tool in Adobe’s suite that Linux can’t compete with. Inkscape is on par with Illustrator. Krita for whatever Adobes’s drawing tool is named. There are several proprietary or FOSS alternatives for Premiere Pro. It’s just GIMP that has a poor UI.
“I hate searching for drivers”
???

And most people use Nvidia. Don’t act like it’s a small number.
apt install nvidia-driver
pacman -S nvidia
Most gamers use nvidia.
The average person uses integrated intel or amd graphics.

Lmao. “Unless you’re in the majority of PC gamers then it’s not a problem” Linux users I swear

Go get some up-to-date information.
I have a 4k laptop display and use it alongside 2 1080 monitors just fine nowadays, Wayland handles that no problem
AFAIK HDR support still sucks though
Well, that’s good to know!
Not sure whether this is sarcasm or not

Inkscape is not on par.
