"ease of installation" I'm going to have to stop you right there..I once spent more than 7 hours straight trying to install the drivers for my AMD GPU .while in Windows it's as easy as clicking "next, next, I agree, finish" in Linux it's hell..lots of dependency problems lots of missing packages lots syntax errors and incompatible makefiles..it's like I'm fighting with the system not doing a simple task like installing the drivers for my hardware..I tried many distros.. Ubuntu.. Kali.. Arch Linux..not once I ran these "apt-get install" "dpkg -i" commands and got anything done..there HAVE to be errors every god damn time..and gaming ? Please don't tell me "wine!!" This thing is hell too..god help u if u actually get any modern AAA game running on this thing..and even if it did it'd run like a 90's console

Well when was that? How many years ago? On Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros that's a driver manager for proprietary drivers
