It is an Nvidia problem. And we need to insist on Nvidia being the problem until they give in. Their lack of wanting to take responsibility for distributing graphics cards on the market by not developing working drivers and not even letting the community fix it by open sourcing their driver is not something we should tolerate anymore. They pissed people enough at this point over the years, with their lack of participation in an driver problem-free environment on Linux, so they should and they will take the blame.

Xorg and Wayland are two protocols every Desktop Environment use and is, from my limited knowledge on it, the thing that tells the DE how to behave and display windows on your screen. Since 1984, the Linux world uses Xorg (now at the 11 edition: X11) but now, there is a massive transition towards a protocol more secure and focused around privacy called Wayland because first, it’s objectively better, and because X11 will soon be deprecated/abandoned. But due to its way of handling things (like for example, windows can’t see each other: they think they’re alone on the PC, preventing some programs from spying on each others but also preventing them to communicate with each other, like to share screen or screenshot. We have portals to solve that now though, so no worries), Wayland struggle to convince everybody and therefore is heavily criticized, mostly because it’s sort of being forced due to the Xorg team letting the project die to develop Wayland, the successor, waiting for every distros and their DE to adopt it.

But despite not directly mentioning those protocols, you’re right by saying “you can just jump ships and unsubscribe from what you dislike” because honestly, nobody’s preventing people from continuing to use Xorg and groups from continuing the development of DE based on Xorg or simply continuing the Xorg project, but if they want to progress and evolve with the rest of the world, they will have to switch to Wayland eventually.

I literally didn’t update my fedora distro on my laptop for 2 months (because I didn’t have much use of it those last months) and I have 500+ packages to update, and on my PC with an arch-based distro, after 5 days, I have already 100 packages to update

So literally the same things as any other Linux distro… To delete the bootloader, you don’t just need to select a folder in your home directory with your mouse and click delete, it’s a little bit more complicated than that, despite it not being hard for any person who knows how to run a command and know the basics.

(I know it’s a late response but I only saw this post now and wanted to response to your particular comment) It was also the case for me because I usually didn’t consume stuff from my age or from my native language but I still stopped using their services for the most part and deactivated any kind of telemetry from them for the remaining stuff I still use because despite all of that, I still don’t want to support their business model or the companies themselves, as well as their constant push to consumerism through ads drowning. So privacy isn’t the only reason to stop letting them listen to you I think.

You don’t update Windows “when you feel like it”, it does when it feels like it. Several times, after delaying the updates so many times because I knew it takes dozens of minutes to apply each time and I didn’t want that to happen as I often had to restart my PC or had to let it run in the background, Windows eventually forced me to update the next time I shut down my PC.

Honestly, if it’s cheap enough, I’d definitely buy it
