Installing a working Nvidia driver was a nightmare for me. And this was on a very recent version of Ubuntu. I don't know if I would use the word approachable | ||

Fedora makes it pretty approachable, and some distros (e.g. Nobara, Bazzite) just straight-up ship the driver. IMHO, stuff is moving fast enough in the Linux gaming world that any distro built around taking its time to update things (i.e. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint) is liable to be a bad time. Anecdotally, I've found that redirecting new users interested in gaming away from those distros has dramatically improved their satisfaction. | ||

Graphics drivers are near the top of my list of issues I've had with Ubuntu. I've been using Linux for well over 20 years and Ubuntu (and to a large degree, other Debian derivatives) is just such a pain in the ass to install and configure. It is superficially a good UX in the sense that if you can somehow manage to stay on the happy path, it's smooth, but go an inch off of that and you're in for a world of pain. | ||
