Description Halcyoen 2023-03-09 22:38:57 UTC 
Something that I'm missing not only from KDE Neon but many other distros (and not-quite-distros) is the option to install proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers from the get-go. Ubuntu, for example, does offer this during OS installation along with other third-party drivers and codecs and from a UX perspective I believe this makes sense to do. Newer and more casual users looking to break away from other OS manufacturers will have a smoother setup experience and better first impressions. They'll (probably) be running into fewer issues when first starting to use the system and won't have to copy-paste strange commands from the internet into their terminal. Users who perhaps are a bit more experienced with GNU/Linux and more comfortable configuring their system to their needs should of course still be able to opt out of any proprietary software.

Thoughts?
