I get what you are saying but at the same time I have a MSI laptop that I bought in 2020. It has a nvidia video card.
Bloody thing was always a pain in the arse. I couldn’t plug the HDMI to the TV and get it working straight away.
Everytime I wanted to play on my TV I had to plug the HDMI, go to the device management, uninstall intel video drivers, same with the nvidia drivers then reinstall first the nvidia driver then the intel one.
And that only worked until I turned the PC or it went into hibernation.
Now that it’s running on Win11, no amount of driver reinstall can get it to work. It’s laptop screen or bust.
With Linux I just plug the HDMI in and it works. The only limitation is that I can’t get it to work with 4K60, as it should. It only works with 1080p30.
But I guess I can’t always win…
Has “non techy” evaded you ?
