When I was new to linux, I followed a guide on youtube and didn’t know I installed noveau instead of nvidia. I couldn’t watch any yt video without massive screen tearing. I thought it was arch linux problem. I wish there was an easier guide out there for new users. Arch wiki is super good but navigating it as a beginner is a bit hard in my opinion.
I’m a fairly recent convert to Linux (currently trying out Fedora). I thought GNOME was trash and I didn’t get why anyone used it until I realized that the nvidia kernel wasn’t loading any it was defaulting back to noveau.
Fixed that problem and now all the DEs that I’ve tried seem beautiful and fast, including GNOME.

This might have accidentally been why I thought Unity DE was a piece of shit back in the day…it still is, but for different reasons.
