GeForce Experience on my PC requires an account. Sure I can find and install the driver manually, but the convenience of using the software outweighs the privacy concerns (for me).

Good news, they just retired GeForce Experience, and the new Nvidia app which replaced it doesn't require a login anymore.

  And they rolled out a new driver search that sucks!

  I really hope that means I can leave my joystick plugged in and my system will properly go to sleep now. That has to have been the most annoying Geforce Experience bug ever.

    It looks like their new app fixes that problem!

I mean for me at least, it's not even a privacy concern, it's a fucking hassle. I do not want nor will I ever, in all likelihood, want a Qualcomm account, nor do I want an account on whatever other shit-splat website I'm gonna visit one time every few years to download one thing I need. There is no reason at all to put a download like this behind an account. A captcha MAYBE, if you find your website being hit by bots a lot, I guess? But it's 2024, nearly 2025. Bandwidth is dirt cheap.
