Add "Nudge Advices" on the download page

Hi.

There are many (new) Blender users who post bug and crash reports on different websites: DevTalk , BlenderArtists , Blender.chat , developer.blender.org , ...

Of course, the reasons of these bugs and crashes are various and, before submitting a bug report , users should watch this video but some crashes could be simply avoided by following these simple rules:

  • Keep your OS up-to-date.
  • Update your GPU drivers.
  • Use the latest version of Blender.

💡 To lower the number of reports, I suggest to use the Nudge Theory on several pages of the website, but to begin, with the Downloads page.

Examples of nudges: click here

I think that it would worth considering to add a simple/short sentence on the Download Page (and why not, on the Blender Splashscreen ?) to incite users to follow the three steps above. ___ My suggestion:

  • Blender works best with an up-to-date OS and with the latest GPU drivers.

or maybe:

  • Users noticed less crashes with Blender on an up-to-date OS and with the latest GPU drivers.
