@0xabad1dea Posts like this make me glad I use Debian...I was blissfully ignorant that Nvidia is doing that, installing FOSS drivers is totally automatic and installing the proprietary ones is sudo apt install nvidia-detect, then run nvidia-detect to reveal the next apt one liner needed to finish the job.
@BalooUriza @0xabad1dea it's only for using the (for now still optional, and Windows-only) "GeForce experience" software, used for applying/enhancing the applications' settings.
Downloading, installing and using the drivers alone require no account whatsoever
