I have the basic computer knowledge, I just like simplicity, I don't like writing twenty lines of code to get some idiotic driver installed that could've been done in two clicks with Windows, it's not me...
It takes one line of code.

I dont understand why you are having such great difficulty. And how in the hell do you go "out of a OS"?. All you are doing is login out and login in again. Hell, just open the terminal and enter
Code:
sudo killall xserver
then run the command.

Or use ubuntu, and two clicks later you'll have drivers installed.

Linux is not windows. Linux does not aim to be like windows. Linux is linux, and if you don't like linux or don't have the capacity to run linux, use windows and stop complaining!
