Oh no! It was only supposed to happen to Arch.

Yep, of course it’s Nvidia.
Every time I have seen a funky black screen with text against my will Nvidia was involved.

You bought an Nvidia graphics card.
Yeah. Why would anyone expect one of the most popular video cards in the world to work in Linux. Those idiots.
Just to be clear. I understand why a proprietary card may not work. It isn’t Linux’s responsibility to make it work. However, what isn’t acceptable is for the automated update system of an OS to break a working system. Proprietary driver or not. The update system should have thrown up some very strong warnings that proceeding would break the system.
isn’t acceptable
Have you contacted whoever you pay for your support contract?
As long as you keep relying on this cliche excuse, Linux is never going to be treated as a serious desktop operating system.
Distros are trying to create usable, friendly systems. They failed at that if their distros are this fragile. That’s what “unacceptable” means in this context. You can’t just throw your middle finger up in the air at the user when their system fails by saying “you didn’t pay for it” and scurry off giggling. Yet Linux advocates keep pushing Linux on inexperienced users, saying that it’s the solution to everything; that it’s so easy their grandma uses it.
I don’t use Linux as anything more than a toy for this very reason. I’ll start taking it seriously when its advocates do.

Oh noes!

I disagree.

LOL
… And your reply shows exactly why no one should take anything you say seriously. You’re just trolling.
You’re just trolling.
Don’t confuse laughing at you for trolling, they’re not the same thing.
Looks like it wants to remove the cause but not the symptom.
I’m gonna be honest: I don’t know what you’re trying to say.
