Good thing Linux ships with AMD drivers by default, no install necessary. Nvidia will have to get off their asses and make their drives less of a pile of dog shit though.
So some drivers are not installed like I said
I'm not casting judgement on whether the drivers are good or not I'm merely pointing out that they're not preinstalled and a lot of people don't even know what a driver is.
If Linux isn't out of the box simple easy like Windows people are never going to switch to it no matter how terrible Microsoft become. They will go to Apple before they go to Linux.
Hang on...
Some distros (mint, Ubuntu) prompt the user to install proprietary drivers during the installation process, it's very easy.
On Windows you have to download the latest drivers from the manufacturers website and install them manually, that's crazy!
