>Try to explain to your mother how to properly get NVIDIA graphics cards running
why would she need that?
1. on almost all big distros thats included by default
2. 99% of user do not use a GPU they just browse the web.
- echoangle 2y agoFor 1., I was citing Debian as an example which doesn’t include it, and that’s certainly a big distro. Other might be better and this isn’t needed for them. For 2., as i said, the default driver was absolutely unusable for me.
- consteval 2y agoTwo problems here: 1. Debian has ideological reasons for not including nvidia. If you're not a proponent of FOSS software, you wouldn't even look to Debian. It's popular because it's a good distro, but it's a very particular kind of distro. 2. Debian Stable does now include nvidia drivers. Yes, they relented, specifically because of situations like yours. Personally, I think it's a good thing they relented.
- akimbostrawman 2y agono mom is gonna install debian lol besides are we gonna act like there are no drivers needed on windows? People will get the information how to install the drivers like on windows. By using a search engine.
