Sorta, but you run one command to update everything at once, and even though the system knows what GPU you have it still seems to update the driver to one thats not compatible, instead of holding that update back.

Also if it didn't warn the user when updating, the user had no idea they were pulling any trigger, especially when Linux falls back to CLI after this instead of just falling back to a basic driver.

    What you described is what happaned with arch. The transitioning shouldn't have happened this way, IMO.

    Other distros usually don't send their users to TTY after an update if they can help it.

    On the long term, the situation is the same on linux and windows: you choose the latest driver and live with that given feature set and its bugs.
