Can’t hear you over the sound of my gpu fans spinning at mach 3 to cool my nvidia gpu running the Silent Hill 2 remake on linux with wayland. I use arch btw.
This is the single issue that has kept me away from Linux for the past 15 or so years. I always get to the “install GPU drivers” step, completely fuck it up somehow, read things online for a few hours, get frustrated, and return to Windows/macOS until I try the experiment again in another 3-5 years. I’m about due to give it another shot.
Its only if you want the absolute latest drivers at this point. Most distros come with somewhat recent but very stable graphics drivers pre packaged now. Generally its still much nicer with amd gpus tho.
Other than some specialized hardware, Nvidia GPUs are the one big issue.

installing gpu drivers takes 1 command in the terminal on Ubuntu
Can be done through the GUI since 20.04 at least, don’t even have to open the terminal l.
