I remember Nvidia putting their driver into GeForce Experience just before I stopped using Windows completely. It was taking the driver, adding a user interface on it, stuffed ads inside, required a Nvidia account and ran in the tray all the time. :)
I assume it still works like that on windows. It's just filled to the brink with shit like that.
You do realize you can just not install GFE, right?
Sure, but it's the culture of windows. Everything is corporate speak, filled with ads, and taking over the users computer. I got so sick of it all.
Linux is amazing. It just gets out of the way and provides a fast smooth system that never slows down. Has an excellent fast command line and many great applications handled by a very fast and efficient package manager...I mean, it's just so much better that it's no going back.
"Gets out of the way"
Yeah I will stop you right there buddy.
