Can I not have to log in to download a bloody driver without jumping through a thousand hoops? Can I choose not to use it at all? Probably not, probably still shit.

Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.

I've done that before, yes, but I seem to recall it being a lot of hoops to go through. Could be misremembering it, as well though.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

I do it every time I update. It was pretty straightforward last time.

That’s said, I really hope this new app doesn’t change something or force me to download it to get the same functionality I have now.

You can download the driver directly, GeForce Experience isnt necessary.

Well you have to know the model of your graphics card and your operating system. If you don't know those things, you will have to either figure it out or download the app so it can detect that information automatically.

Yeah, that's pretty basic. I seem to recall the option to even search by OS/GPU being fairly hidden, but again, probably just misremembering.
