"just working" without any user jiggery pokery.

Don't blame Linux for that, blame nVidia for not providing either drivers or the chipset's specs so that drivers can be written by OSS programmers.  If you must use nVidia but don't want to do what's needed to install the drivers, try Ubuntu because they automate the installation of the binary blob drivers.

I suppose I have to recognise that as a lone user my perspective will differ from that of sysadmins responsible for a whole zoo of systems. Although the RPMfusion packages don't offer automatic card recognition, my impression is that installation of a specific driver by dns is usually straightforward. I have no 'special interest' in this.
