Comment on PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates

Getting the screen to display takes the same time as with a console: Once while setting up and usually amounts to “Plug in the chord”.
If you want to play on console you do you, but thid shouldn’t be your reason.

Uh huh. And it takes fifteen minutes to caramelize onions.

The last time I had to “fiddle” with drivers on Windows, I had this integrated GPU. Now check the release date on that. Everything I’ve owned since then, has simply required the drivers to be installed. Brand new AAA games often get game-specific optimizations, which is the main reason to keep them up to date. Otherwise you don’t need to update very often.
With nVidia on Linux I’ve had more issues, but that also depends on your distro and it’s not really as bad as people would have you think. AMD is less problematic and running a more mainstream distro helps too. I switched to CachyOS and now I have fewer issues than on TumbleWeed.
