I mean, you wouldn’t buy a sports car and then a month later post to a forum asking questions about how to tow a 40 foot camper with it, would you?

The problem is that a lot of users aren’t building a new machine for Linux, but converting an existing Windows laptop or desktop. In my case, I’d already bought an Nvidia card about a year before I decided to switch to Linux for gaming.
