Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can’t fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Im not on Linux yet, unfortunately, but I don’t get it? Linux doesn’t require drivers?
Drivers are part of the kernel.
But if you want to manually install your own drivers (say Nvidia proprietary ones) god forbid that’s an obnoxious process. It makes windows driver hell look quaint.
You don’t want that. Never install the drivers from the nvidia website on linux. The distros always ship their own and those usually get updated regularly as long as you aren’t using Debian
On AMD no, on nVidia if you want to game you need their proprietary drivers AFAIK, but I’ve always been on AMD so…
most of the time, you don’t! they’re built into the kernel, so you don’t need to worry about it
some hardware does need external drivers, including nvidia GPUs. this is because nvidia’s drivers are proprietary, so they can’t be bundled with the kernel.
tho i think that now, the community developed nvidia drivers that are in the kernel are good enough, but the proprietary drivers still have better performance. don’t quote me on this tho i’m too poor to have a GPU
Mesa drivers are built into the kernel.
