Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can’t fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Seriously though, this is still the same problem on windows. If you switch from AMD to Nvidia, it’ll load a generic display driver until you install the Nvidia one either through windows updates (heavily outdated) or GeForce Now (heavy bloat).
At least Linux gives you Nouveau instead of throwing you into a 480p fallback output.
Yes, but you would need to know to run that command, so it’s the same situation as the windows case where he didn’t know which drivers to get. So the argument is disingenuous in that it either ignores the case or he has knowledge on one OS that he doesn’t on the other. On the other side of the coin someone could be making a similar post saying in windows they just switched hardware, installed drivers and done, in Linux they spent hours trying to figure out how to install the drivers.
I’m not saying it’s hard (on any OS) but it requires previous knowledge on both (although to a much lesser extent on Linux since this only happens when switching GPUs and only under specific conditions).
