Did you know that those annoying MOBO software come not from windows update but by the UEFI/BIOS boot process injecting it into your windows installation? Yeah, just like some rootkit shenanigans, still, this is a windows “feature”. (Windows platform binary table) You can turn it off usually, but OFC by default it’s enabled.

For all the flak they (rightfully!) get, a 1st party open source nvidia driver is in the works.

Altough it’s only the userspace part and it’s not compliant (yet?) to be upstreamed into the kernel. It is still something.
