So, it’s just the philosophy of FOSS stopping distros from using proprietary?

I’m not sure what distro you’ve used that was unable to install Nvidia drivers as part of the general OS install process, but it would have been due to needing the user to agree to the proprietary driver’s EULA.

I’m using Mint. It doesn’t install proprietary Nvidia drivers along the system install. But provides a slick Driver manager where you download proprietary Drivers without any hassle. It does include nouveau during install though.

Yes, this is what I’m explaining. They can’t LEGALLY just install it for you without you agreeing to the license, so there needs to be a prompt for that before doing so.
