What do you mean by installation quirk? Having a GPU and needing a driver?

That seems pretty common to me. I also know people interested in PC gaming who are also low skill and I certainly wouldn’t recommend Linux to them (only exception being the Steam Deck).

More like to them its either ‘does work’ or ‘doesnt work’. If they ever had a running system they’d most likely never change anything and end up breaking the gpu driver.

For the most part I’d say installers succeed automatically installing drivers too (or are preinstalled in the laptop case)
