Consumer grade Linux Mint is impossible to differentiate from Windows/MacOS.

Install Firefox. Install Chrome. Install Steam.

Test it out on an old laptop or computer. It's trivial. Your life will improve.

What’s installing Nvidia drivers like?

This has killed my install and interest in Linux every time I’ve tried it.

I've done two PC builds with Nvidia and it's actually easier than Windows because my distros (popOS and bazzite) installed the drivers for me. Had to do it manually with Windows
