Stopn taking. There are regular NVidia issues. I don't even get reliable HDMI handshakes and HDMI passthrough doesn't work.

    You got an abnormal issue, and I would help you troubleshoot if you'd like.

    This was kind but not the point. I spend 40 hours a week contributing and fixing shit (Devops+SE work) I can deal with an HDMI handshake failing because fuck Windows and I've done lfs ages ago. It's not abnormal, this is copium.

    Most users, especially non technical are not going to deal with this bullshit.

    I've been using Linux with various GPUs (AMD, nvidia, and integrated) and various distros since 2008 and I've never had this issue.

    I worked in a place that built and maintained computers with Linux installed and again never seen the issue you describe.

    The hardest time I ever had whit a GPU was back when I was using Ubuntu on an AMD card back in 2008. And the hardest thing then was figuring out what repo to use as newb.

    Builds with an integrated GPU in the CPU with a different dedicated GPU used to be difficult until bumblebee came about and now they couldn't be easier.

    It is true that people might have to read error messages every now and then, but in the open source community, error message make sense and you can research them entirely yourself.

    I don't doubt that you are having an issues, it may be something as simple as your hardware is too new for the distro release you have installed and you should update. However, to say that everyone will have some weird issue is wrong.

    I've convinced about 5 friends and neighbors (one over 70) to switch to Linux in the past 2 years. All I did was provide install media and help them boot to it. They figured the rest out and didn't have issues either.
