Yes, we know, but it's still part of "Linux being ready for mainstream gaming". If the average person (the mainstream) has to worry about stuff like that, then it isn't ready for the mainstream.

Well I doubt the mainstream actually tweaks 3D settings in nVidia control panel. Anti cheat making some online games not work is a bigger issue but still not worth it.

Ahh, my apologies. I thought you were referring to the Nvidia drivers being proprietary in general, not just the lack of 3D settings in the control panel. I totally agree that those settings are not needed by mainstream users.
