To be fair, that’s only because most people are trained on windows first and use it for decades, so the annoying Windows quirks and defects have been embedded into you (their workarounds too).
Nvidia is not easy on Linux
I think this problem is mostly solved, for newer cards at least. But I guess I have to agree since older nvidia gpus will be stuck on the terrible old proprietary drivers (though idk maybe the older ones have better support because theyve been around).
It is terrible indeed, but I’d rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years…). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.
I’m a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it’s far from a good desktop experience.
Terrible still, but dude I’m happy I’m over here and not in one of the other camps right now.
If yours is terrible then that’s a skill issue tbh
Being fanboy elitist is not helping. In fact it’s cringe. Don’t be cringe.
I will remind you : Nvidia is not easy on Linux. And so far as my research it never has.
Windows you don’t have to think about it.
That said, there is good help on it.
So help.
Be part of the solution. Not the problem. And especially don’t be another problem.
