Oh, I guess you misunderstood me here indeed. I was trying to say, that I think, that many people who are such extremist "free software zealots" that they would not buy NVidia products (like me) quite often also are people who know their way around a bit with compiling stuff etc. I would love if people who don't know how to compile would also not buy hardware without capable open source drivers, but to be honest: I don't know a many people like this. I would love to be proven wrong in this regard soon. About installing Gem: I think it should be a simple as "apt-get install gem" and thankfully most of the time it just is.
