Sounds like the Linux user only ever used AMD cards.
You still need to download the drivers for nVidia. One of the top noob questions is "which one?" because there are several options without real explanation... At least on Ubuntu based distro, which a lot of new users will be sent to (i.e. Mint).
The experience with AMD cards seems to be the above; plug in and it just works immediately.
But don't even get me started on Intel cards. Jeezus Effing Kristus. I got mine working, but it's still a damned issue and a half. And you'll have to go driver hunting if you want to do anything artistic with them, which is an absolute rabbit hole on Ubuntu distros. But mercifully much more simple on Fedora and Co.
If someone has to try and break into Bazzite to do anything (if they're not a developer) then they're doing something very wrong.
What the hell were they even trying to do!?
