I’m not sure what distro you’ve used that was unable to install Nvidia drivers as part of the general OS install process, but it would have been due to needing the user to agree to the proprietary driver’s EULA.
I’m using Mint. It doesn’t install proprietary Nvidia drivers along the system install. But provides a slick Driver manager where you download proprietary Drivers without any hassle. It does include nouveau during install though.
Yes, this is what I’m explaining. They can’t LEGALLY just install it for you without you agreeing to the license, so there needs to be a prompt for that before doing so.
But, what about some Distros have NVIDIA Versions, Which come with proprietary Drivers? Like Nobara, Bazzite, Pop OS…?
They don’t have legal issues?
I think its because the country they are based on. I also heard that VLC has lots of codecs (even proprietary ones), because it’s origin country doesn’t restrict them to use proprietary codecs.

I’m not aware of any distros catering to specific locales in their installers, but maybe that’s a thing.
