Just don't use computers for delicate matters, they are compromised anyways on hardware level you bunch of cucks. Windows just works. Torrent LTSB Enterprise and it just werks.

Even in windows it turns the screen off then on. Maybe you should have waited. And a restart after it was done would have fixed it too.
Also when i updated nvidia drivers it never flickered.

Only absolute retards can't figure out how to use Linux today.
The difficulty you're referring to comes from how Linux used to be.
Most of the people here are too young to remember, but back in the 90s there were things called "win modems".
They were basically dial up modems that were half-built. The hardware handled some things, but you needed software running on the computer for the rest of the modem's functionality.
Most of that software was written only for Windows, so if you were a Linux user you had to write the software yourself (unless you got lucky and your win modem was popular enough that someone else already did the work for you).
These devices weren't the only things with poor Linux support.
Most peripherals could be made to work on Linux, but it often involved a lot of low level configuring (setting IRQs correctly, rebuilding the kernel to support the device, etc.).
Basically if it wasn't a serial (or PS/2) keyboard/mouse and a VGA monitor, you probably had to configure it before it would work.
