      I have never had problems with Nvidia drivers on Linux mint detects them and ask if you want to install the official drivers

        LMDE didn’t install the DKMS modules on my kid’s PC, so the nVidia drivers never loaded after a new kernel got installed. I do enough tech support at work so we chucked Pop!_OS on the PC (and set it up with btrfs and timeshift-autosnap) instead. No more problems.

        May not be a problem with mainline Mint, of course, but there are weirdos like me who prefer the Debian edition.

      I’m starting to wonder if this is a meme or if people are actually having problems.

        It’s baffling to me. I just started using Linux Mint (Cinnamon) recently for the first time in my life, and it asked if I wanted to install the official Nvidia drivers during the initial setup.
