Nvidia used to be the easy way to go. The open-source Nouveau driver lacked functionality. The official Nvidia driver was proprietary but worked well. (Though the Radeon drivers were proprietary at the time too. And Intel graphics hardware was always poor.)
Serious question because I’m in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense… so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS
You said you wouldn’t buy a whatever just to whatever, but the image indicates the person (…cat) installing Linux found it in the trash.
It’s not like the Linux-installer decided specifically to acquire Nvidia nonsence, they found a free PC which had Nvidia they could either put Linux on or leave in the trash.
Lies. You wouldn’t buy a PC with Nvidia nonsense just to install Linux.

Wild how things turn around.

You’ll want the nvidia drivers. Nouveau is now usable with AMD cards I think, I’m on nvidia so I’m not 100% sure on that
Person who threw it in the trash bought it.
Huh?
