Definitely not pointing fingers (I'd take the stance of Linus in giving nVidia the middle finger).

Just from the point of a consumer trying to get work done on my machine and deliver things in a reasonable time frame.

I expect to be able to flash a USB, plug it into my computer and have things work. The default settings for installing Ubuntu do not let you use 4tb drives without custom partitions, not ideal.

And RPM Fusion straight up doesn't work with fedora, have to boot into a cli and spend a few days trying to get the closed source drivers to work with no success.

I've generally had success with the RPM Fusion instructions when installing Nvidia drivers.

One part that is strange is that the kmod gets built in the background, and you don't really know if it is still building except by watching the process/logs.

If you reboot immediately after install, sometimes you'll break it. Not a great experience by any means.


I just installed ubuntu on a computer with 1 2TB NVME drive and 2 4TB SSDs in it and had absolutely 0 problems. One ext4 partition for each of the 4TB SSDs.
