You poor souls running windows... even Linux can do this with mostly no fuss today.

- tux3 6y agoWe must have received a very different version of nvidia.ko if yours updates with no fuss.. either that, or you are using intel/amd in which case lucky you :)
- bmn__ 6y agoNo fuss in my experience. Some distros use dkms, some rebuild the driver on the build farm as a package corresponding to each kernel update. Both are quite reliable.
- Spivak 6y agoSure, but from the user's perspective Linux operates in exactly the same way as Windows. A boatload of drivers available directly from the vendor but they're out-of-date (or in the case of Nvidia not the official drivers). And it's much much more of a PITA to install out-of-tree drivers on Linux than Windows.
