I’m planning on changing to Linux eventually, but my PC has a 4060ti. I have heard that Nvidia drivers are a pain to install, and I don’t have the means to change to a non-Nvidia GPU. Am I in trouble?

    depends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.

    To access the Driver Manager in Linux Mint, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Menu (Taskbar) in the lower-left corner of your screen.
    2. Navigate to Administration.
    3. Click on Driver Manager.

    Load Device Manager for Nvidia Drivers on Linux Mint

    Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:

    1. The Driver Manager will prompt you for your password. Enter your password and click on Authenticate.
    2. The Driver Manager will scan your system for available drivers. Once the scanning is complete, you will see a list of available drivers for your graphics card.
    3. Select the recommended Nvidia driver from the list.
    4. Click on Apply Changes to start the installation process.

    Then reboot.

    For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”
