Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can't fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

Yeah once I learned about DDU I would download new drivers, reboot into safe mode, run DDU, install new drivers, reboot into normal windows.
Similar process for a new card.
I have not had a Linux desktop since 09 or 10, and I never replaced the graphics card so I cannot speak to that process. I am getting ready to try and resurrect my old gaming desktop with Linux, and I think the graphics card on it was dead/dying so I will likely be replying one soon.
