i have not used linux for awhile,,but i found ubuntu was fairly easy to use, and install the nividia driver....most linux verions you will have to install drivers,,,that is the open-source as a rule.,unless you buy a linux version that could possibly have some drivers installed...but most you will still have to install....i once had most drivers installed on suse,,,but it took some work...linux is not for the amateur,,that is my opinion..
