I first experimented with Linux in 1999, but didn't stay with it for long as I never got X11 working. I started using it more seriously in 2001 / 2002 and by the time Windows XP was established, I was a full time Linux user. I was a lot older than you though being in my mid-thirties.

It offers a good installer, a decent out of the box setup, useful helper scripts, and a helpful community. That's a lot more than Arch!
Troubleshooting and fixing your system when your desktop environment is broken
Antivaxx is nonsense everywhere
I'd like to get away from Microsoft, so it's on my to do list, I just haven't got around to it yet. I do use Eclipse so perhaps it makes sense to use Theia as well.
Good God! According to the Debian wiki, they're still on 535, no wonder they don't work properly! Still, if you use Debian, you know what you're getting in to. You'll also have more *fun* when the kernel or nvidia drivers update.
I dare say that you could replicate the same mess in C#, PHP, Python, C++, or any other object oriented language. Just because people write bad code, it doesn't mean the language is bad.
True, but you're not going the Nvidia website, finding and downloading a .run file, manually installing it, and then manually maintaining it which is what I was talking about.
Each distro has it's own way of installing the drivers, Mint uses a driver Manager GUI, endeavour OS uses the nvidia-inst script, but ultimately, they come the repositories of the distro.
As long as you don't make the mistake of downloading them directly from Nvidia, it should be straight-forward.
Sometimes I think about doing this, but then I remember that Linux is not my hobby these days, it's my productivity platform.
The EU must be doing something right.
