But Linus Sex Tips said linux is bad, bro! I tried Ubuntu one time like 10 years ago and it wasn’t Windows, so now I hate Linux bro
It can’t even wun micwodowt owwice :(
TF u guys mean i just play 25 y/o games
Morrowind goes brr
I’m kicking myself because I wanna switch to Linux but I just bought a used Nvidia card
So? I am using linux (arch btw) with a 3090 without problems.
I am using a 1080 Ti and its meh, I sometimes have screen tearing issues, sleep/hibernate doesn’t work anymore and letting it choose the iGPU and GPU based off of the current needs also does not work, so I just run the iGPU most of the time (it doesn’t have the screen tearing issue).
I’m thinking of doing a fresh install, maybe a different distro, as the setup is quite old and bloated by now, but I’m not looking forward to reinstalling everything I actually need/use.
I bought a 3060 ti for my new pc and I am going to install tumbleweed on it, Nvidia is not as hard to configure as people say
True. There are even distros that do it for you. PopOS or EndeavourOS (has a nvidia boot option when installing). I just did a fresh EndeavourOS install and it’s amazing. I have an RTX 3060 btw
But sure, AMD would be better still. Fuck Nvidia and all that 100%
I’m super interested in running Linux, do you think it’s okay to just dump windows at once and go full Linux, or it’s better to dual boot for a while? I’ve read that dual-booting can be a bit finicky, but it’s been a while since I looked into it
When I switched to linux I originally intended to dualboot but I messed up the partitioning and completely obliterated windows. Decided to just go with it and I never looked back.
for me it was the opposite, I did a fresh install and -against all advice- installed linux before windows.
When a few months later a windows update dexided to fuck with and destroy grub again (and reinstall edge) I saw that as a sign to kick out windows.
SSDs got so cheap, I just added another one for Linux.
Whats the electron looking thing?
What are the names of those? I only recognize Wine (“Wine Is Not an Emulator”)
Well there is
- Vulkan (graphics API, successor to OpenGL which was used by e.g. Minecraft, CS Go i believe)
- DXVK (compatibility layer for games created with the DirectX Framework by MS)
- Lutris (game launcher for stuff you bought outside of steam, e.g. GOG, Epic, Uplay, etc.)
- Steam and maybe Proton but idk.
- the atom thing could be protondb.com, where you can look up if your game will run on linux and what fixes / commands are available
Thanks! protondb sounds like a very handy website
Sure is! Almost every game that doesn’t run well out of the box has a fix there.
It surely is, it has also been really great to see the growing support for all those games over the last years. Sad to see some games still being borked with no valid reason (Pubg e.g., with the developers stating the game can run on linux with no problems at all, they still will block it bc they are scared of hackers or some other lame excuse).
Every problem I had playing games on Linux could be fixed by some kind stranger on there offering a command or sth. else (sometimes even stuff thats not related to linux at all lol)
