The real problem is NVIDIA does not distribute their drivers to Linux community like HP does. So users have to download and install their driver manually. Users know very little about fixing a problem (if any error occurs). So, they had to use the generic driver provided by the vendor. I do not blame NVIDIA because Linux kernel (and related products) updates rapidly. Also there are many many flavors of UNIX/Linux in the market. So, it is impossible to build drivers for each Hardware and software platforms.
