hi everyone,
so basically was installing Linux on a new computer with a 1650 OC addition. i was unable to change the resolution and this made it impossible to find anything as everything was so big that near 100% of the functions was inaccessible.
Simply put if Linux does not allow the user to access the functions needed to download drivers then it is completely useless.
This was with the latest Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.
Problem is this was the first exposure to Linux to about 40 people. Many of us had "some" Linux experience but we where unable to fix this simple yet crippling situation so literally in a single morning 40 would be users now will never look at Linux for the second time.
How could this be fixed ?
Simple upon install we clicked that Linux must find and install drivers. Obviously NVIDIA driver was not installed and factually made the computer useless.
So IF the function worked properly and the GPU driver was installed 40 students, and normal users would have had a better first time experience with Linux. Now we are gathering money to buy Windows licenses.
This is on You Linux developers. Not the users. Not "stupidity" all that had to happen a function that you allow the user to click should have work but didn't. Nor where we even able to find a driver because we could not see what we where doing.
