You’d have the same issue with this on Linux, no? It isn’t OS-specific.
EDIT: I meant in general. Software on Linux is also subject to the UKs temper tantrum laws, same as on Windows. The Nvidia driver is just an example, you can also just download the driver on Windows without needing their companion app.
The official proprietary Nvidia drivers are just a regular Linux package I’m 99% sure, I have it installed on my laptop and it doesn’t involve a gui app at all.
No you would not because you don’t need to go to the website to download software to use Nvidia on Linux. Also the Nvidia driver on Linux is literally just a driver and settings package it has no online features
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?

In Linux you can use the open source nvidia drivers if you want
The key thing is Linux is free and open source, free as In eat shit and fucking die government fucking pigs.
aka: the only kind of freedom that matters. lol
I’m not aware that the Nvidia drivers for Linux require an app registration. If that were the case, I’d definitely have heard about the uproar.
