From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ditto. I use the Nvidia driver in Arch, and I forgot that I had it installed. No problems on this machine for more than 6y.
I have never heard of an installer running in the background causing weird delays requiring weird routines. Maybe it's the way it's packaged on their distro, perhaps? Like they're shipping the installer in the package instead of the contents of the installer?
