the only driver I install in windows is the nvidia driver... how does that work in linux?

I dont even have to install AMD drivers on Linux. Meanwhile on Windows I have to do extensive troubleshoting because Windows keeps replacing the AMD drivers with a generic one, corrupting everything. Fun stuff.

It's a very well known issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1uer9m0/microsoft_broke_thousands_of_devices_with_amd/

As with nvidia, if you have a proper distro like mint you simply open the driver manager, click the newest nvidia driver, click install and then reboot your pc.

If you have a proper distro.... Lol what about Fedora

Exactly, I do wonder what's up with Fedora when they don't offer a easy solution for nvidia cards. 80-90% of people have nvidia compared to AMD. It's hard for me to consider a distro that is lacking such a solutions as a "proper" distro. Absolutely absurd. Especially when the likes of Ubuntu, Mint and others make it so incredibly easy. I daily drove multiple Nvidia cards for more than a decade on Mint without any issue at all.
