It’s not at all this bad. Most distros either have the driver in their repos or a simple way of adding a repo that has it, after installing it, it usually just works.

It might potentially be this bad if you are installing from the NVIDIA webpage, but that is almost never the recommended option and I don’t really see anyone with any Linux experience trying it these days (unless of course you are using a distro that doesn’t have it in repos)

The Office X Generation Zero, I would definitely watch that
