Have you completely switched to Linux for gaming, without even dual-booting into Windows?
yeah, for 2 years now>4gb ram>vmware
>>740126382my urge to pick up linux died after i stopped being a porn addict
Not yet but I will whenever I feel like doing a clean install next. My living room PC is already linux-exclusive.
The only Linux distro I use is Tails
>>740126382No I'm getting hyped for the RTX Spark
>>740126382No. Windows is still better for gaming. But I use Linux on my handheld device.
>>740126382No, I'm still straight. Happy pride month though.
>>740126382Yes. Not just gaming but everything. I'd even use it on my smartphone, but support isn't really that good.
>>740126382>control panel instead of neofetchI don't believe you're a Linux user at all!
>>740126382Yeah, once TF2 was available in like 2013
>>740126382Yeah. I switched mainly to Linux around 2012 but kept dual-booting for games for a few more years. Around 2019 I finally felt like it had become good enough thanks to Proton and DXVK, and AMD drivers finally getting good enough, that I'd rather give up the last few games I couldn't play on it than bother with Windows.
Yes. If I cant play it on linux I just dont bother.>for me its (((FEDora))) atomic>>740127329It doesnt matter
>>740126382Yes. And then I switched to macOS because Linux became too easy to play games. Although macOS is become too easy as well ever since the release of GPTK and other tools.
>>740126382Pretty much, yeah. I have a Windows partition sitting on my other SSD but I haven't booted into it except to confirm the linux install didn't mess with it 3 months ago.Playing games every day on Cachy has been pretty cool. Nothing I've tried is broken. Quite a few games got a slight performance bump. Only negative I found was TW:WH3 took a bit of fiddling because KDE doesn't like scaling 2 monitors differently when something is running full screen.
>>740126589Is this who I think it is?
>>740127650Flatpak Steam doesn't give you any issues?
>>740126382I dropped dual-booting when the abomination that was Windows 8 happened. Never went back. I keep a Windows 7 VM around for Qemu, but I only spin it up when something doesn't work in WINE which is effectively never nowadays
>>740126382No, but i only use winpoows for modding games and then i copy them to Linux
No and I honestly have a retarded setup>winboat for installing pirated games that don't work with proton/wine>single gpu passthrough win11 for hypervisor bypass denuvo>dual boot for word or school workI would like to move my setup to only winboat and single gpu passthrough but qemu and the kernel have fucked me before and I'm not risking it.
>>740129712you passthrough a gpu to play HIV games, but dual boot for word?
>>740126382Can't really do it because my 2012 fossil is too old for modern loonix distros. The moment I get a new PC, shitdows gets the boot.
>>740129767Yup. Like I said I had issues with qemu and if it craps on me and I cannot access word or some other bullshit that's Win specific I would lose my mind. Like HL Alyx wouldn't work well for me on Linux with Steam Link but flawless on WindowsAnd with denuvo I should probably remove the internet access of those VMs but J haven't figured out yet an easy way of opening the qcow and just putting my installers on there.
the last time I had to use Windows for something that wasn't work was during the Olympics, since Peacock blocks Linux and I needed to watch my figure skating husbandos
>>740126382Yes, back in 2021 or something when microslop started inserting faggot flags in the OSnever looked back, never been happier

I just use steamos and my steam deck docked as god intended
>>740126382Not yet but one day, some semi-recent games on my current specs just don't run well on Linux like RE engine games and not even Deadlock which I thought would have a native linux version being a source 2 valve game. I thought the problem was the games being on ntfs but even installing them to an ssd with ext4 didn't change anything. Maybe if I used a "gamer distro" that configured things better than I did (ie. install nvidia drivesr and call it a day) I'd have more luck but I cbf

>>740134824I wish I could go back to Mint. But my new GPU shits the bed with it u.u
>>740126382once, could not run tf2 on my hp elitebook 8570p, but pretty much everything else ran smoothly, made my laptop usable, switch back to windows 10 after 5 years to play the tf2 again with a slightly better laptop
>>740126382For 6 years now. I was exclusivly Linux for a 4 years while I was in uni too but I swapped back because a game I got into didn't work too well in wine at the time, though my second monitor was controlled by a Linux PC then so I was a weird windows+Linux hybrid. I even had an x11 server on my winows PC so I could pull apps over between PCs and both were controlled by the same input devices seamlessly.
>>740126382kubuntu looks like that now? Zaaaaamn
>>740129979I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon on a 2012 Dell Latitude and it works fine. You have no excuse.
I thank /v/ every day for the anons who helped convince me to swap to linux. I daily drive fedora, i still dual boot because once every 30 days or so i need to do something in windows, but literally all of my games work with proton (especially the GE variant), and I dont have to deal with the horrible bloat and sluggishness of windows. I can even pirate games, add them to steam , and then run them through that with proton to get controller support. Holy shit linux is fucking awesome.
waiting for steam machine
I tried going full linux for like 3 months, but jewvidia really is dogshit on it and I can't
>>740126382yes in 2017
>>740126382maybe eventually, I'm just going through with an older unupdated Windows 10 until enough stuff stops being compatible, which so far everything is fine other than some games yelling at me for not having Secureboot or something like that on.
>>740134482>RE engine games and not even DeadlockYou can run those just fine on Linux
Too much of a pussy to change OS and fucked it up
>>740126382Sorry I am not trans.
>>740134482>not even Deadlockworks fine with proton (ge). i have 1.3k hours in the game on linux, literally 0 issues.I have also sucessfully played resident evil games. You do not need native linux ports to play games on linux, that is why proton exists, that is why proton GE (glorious eggroll) exists. I have hundreds and hundreds of games on my steam account and 95%+ of them work just as well or better with proton than on windows.
I did it back in 2019.
>>740126382I should, I just need to backup my work files to do a clean install, thinking of CachyOS
I'm fine with my Ubuntu set up but wondering if I should t try more "gaymen" distros like Cachy.I really only use Linux for games and shitposting, dual boot to windows for work, as Cisco Remote Connect is blocked for Linux
>>740126382Yeah. It's been 7 years now. I think my system broke only once (an haskell update fucked my xmonad up). The worst tinkering I had to do for playing games was configuring wine stuff to play Japanese games.
>>740131673>someone suggests an alternative to mo2>every time it's a completely different onethis one looks pretty good though so thanks, I'll keep it in mind
Hey maybe you guys know what's up. Anyone else getting occasional very loud screeches on their headphones while using pipewire?? My HD Audio Controller is set to the "Analog Stereo Output" profile.
>>740140085That sounds like fucked up hardware or something else not working correctly. The worst I've seen, or heard as the case may be, is missing impulse sounds and pops which both disappeared after disabling power management and keeping audio hardware alive at all times.
>>740139143Cachy is a fotm arch distro. Theres always a new one popping up. Dont bother unless you are a distro hopping redditor who cums on their screenfetchStick with the big distros like ubuntu, fedora, arch, mint. No point in a gaming distro except bazzite, if you want steam on fedora atomic
i want to distro hop after 4 years but it would be a huge pita to get everything working again and not losing any data in the home directory
>>740142896>not having a separate /home partition
>>740142896What for
>>740143242i thought about it but i was told that that doesn't work>>740143292my distro is very unpopular and has a bad reputation these days
>>740139143Cachy is good, I've been using it for over a year now.
>>740143595what are you on, ubuntu? it will still do whatever you need even if it's not really the go to anymore
>>740143242I've been using the same install for like 12 years because I didn't know any better than to put all my vacation photos in /home. afaik install wizards still don't separate /home by default, you still have to do it manually and none of the tech guru types out there will tell you that
>>740126382yes, I still have a windows partition but haven't touched it it like a year almost, I should get it of it at this point
>>740133996>kubuntu has a "feature" that if you don't update every X timeframe, you won't be able to after a whileWhat the fuck am I reading
As long as you have ample space you can do all sorts of shit conveniently if you boot into the liveusb of the new distro (or any distro). Make a new partition, copy your /home/ shit to it, now you can fuck with your old distro's fstab or install the new one or whatever. I don't see the point of doing any of that though, I just have the one partition
I swapped to eos a long time ago and haven't looked back. I already didn't boot shit that used EAC and Denuvo so I realized my os was the only thing I need to leave and I was even able to migrate games full of mods without losing a single thing. I don't miss windows.
>>740126382>they dont know Edge is a better browser than Fireshit
>>740128923weird how I can just use linux to mod my todd games no issues.
>>740139790This one is also different thoughIf you NEED 1:1 alternative to MO2 you should use this, which is basically port of MO2 to Linuxhttps://github.com/SulfurNitride/Fluorine-Manager
>>740126382My computer is far too high-end for Linux unfortunately.
Why can linux only run neofetch? Are you so happy to see the only program running on your system?
The one game i play a lot doesn't work with linux, so I have to stick with windows
i think my only issue with the current state of linux gaming is that modding can be pretty tedious depending on the game, especially without any mod managers excluding maybe limo.
>>740126382i've been using linux exclusively at home for 13 years nowi used to set up a windows partition on my netbook like 15 years ago, but i realized i never used itthere is literally zero reason to use windows in 2026 (autodesk and adobe can suck my cock)
>>740126382Yeah. I haven't used Windows for months at this point. Using Mac at work and Arch at home.
can the linux community survive the death of the consumer hardware market? It's just gonna be a bunch of aging hippies with their final-generation computer parts while all the zoomies are renting compute from the cloud like the corpos always wanted.
I full switched close to 6 years ago (or maybe longer my memory is fuzzy) and have been daily driving gentoo for about half that time. Life is good
>>740144132Collections don't mod well and it's easier on windows thoughever
>>740144950Meh Linux phones would get more effort in that case. And of course the clouds are made of Linux for those that care about that angle
>>740126382I switched to Linux and now I have gender dysphoria and want to transition.
I am using Arch Linux only since 3 years almost and gaming on it
>>740126382No, that's stupid. Just keep the dual boot setup and don't boot into Windows unless you have to.
>>740145217The fuck is a collection? Also I somehow migrated my entire install as a linux noob and that shit just worked. I also got it to accept those stupid modlinks too without issue. Am I just overqualified because I also did this with oblivion and fallout 4 and not just skyrimjob
>troonix
>>740145329Mod collectionsSome games like CP2077 have support for it but not every game
>>740145361Get raped retard.
>>740145468keep your fetishes away from me
>>740126382bros I love KDEit makes linux feel so good it's insane more people don't use it
>>740145450I see, never modded cyberpunk. Haven't found a reason toyet. Plus I'd rather do the mods myself instead of using some faggot's list. Only time I use lists is when a game is so fucked that the game needs it. (todd howard)
>>740126382I switched to Windows with 3.1 and never looked back.
>>740145496So you'd actually consent to microjeet fucking you in the ass?

>>740143679manjaro
Linux for those who couldn't afford MacOS.
>>740130135That's why you use raw disk images but make them sparse. If you need to access the filesystem then you just attach it to a loop device.
i used linux for like 4 years during and a bit after college. I'm not going back to it ever.
>>740135349I miss KDE 3, GNOME 2 and ye olde XFCE. Modern DEs are terrible.
I kept Windows around just to play CS2 Faceit, but they started blocking custom secure boot keys. So I dropped Faceit and Windows.
>>740145797macOS (formerly Mac OS X) hasn't been a good Unix since Snow Leopard and even that was a downgrade when compared to the previous two versions.
>>740145975The sad part is that even at its worst, Mac OS is still better than Windows 11.
>>740126382Yes. I use nobara for my main and bazzite for my secondaries. I fucking hate bazzite.
>>740145797is that still even true? Any half-decent computer is as expensive as a mac these days.
>>740145797Macos is antithetical to vidya and there really is no meaningful difference between it and windows outside of that
>>740149172Windows for games, MacOS for everything else, Linux for servers and routers.

>>740150153Lol no. Garuda in a who gives a shit distro. Cachy on the other hand is picking up steam because it actually does something extra with the install.

>>740150257>>740150605Kill yourselves you revolting tranny troons
>>740126382Even when windows becomes obsolete I will still keep the sata ssd with it installed It's just good practice to have a second os easily available and you never know what tiny obscure old shit might not work on Linux
>>740145797
Why anyone still uses winslop is beyond me. GNU/Linux just works and is not absolutely dogshit like wintrash
>>740126382What's the best all around Linux distro these days? People say CachyOS or Mint but I've also heard good things about Artix. I feel like I lean more towards Mint for a "just werks" experience but Cachy seems really nice too.
>>740151796Anyone saying mint is fucking with you
Been an enjoyer of the faggot penguin since Proton dropped (so late 2018) and never looked back.Has it been the smoothest experience? Fuck no, but at least I can actually figure out what's going wrong with the 'puter.
>>740151796I 100% recommend Mint UNLESS you have 2 monitors with different refresh rates. Then just go for CachyOS.Artix is for more advanced (and contrarian) users. A lot of troubleshooting solutions you find online won't work on Artix (because it doesn't use systemd)
>>740151796Mint is good if you just want a puter that werks, but you will have some problems with gaming.Older kernel means older drivers, and in general the packages it uses are old but stable which is sort of the point I suppose.Like ultimately just fucking try shit. Stay the fuck away from Artix or any of the other systemd-less distros until you have a grasp on how linux actually works. Not that they don't work, quite the contrary but like the other anon mentioned troubleshooting them is way more involved and there's way less resources out there.
>>740126382I can't dual boot my main PC but my laptop(legion i7 with rtx 3080 and 64gb of ram) that I used for traveling and remote work might work.I have a external ssd and want to use it to dual boot but I'm scared to brick my shit
>>740126382Yeah a few years back. Its nice. Aside from an odd hiccup every couple of months there really haven't been any issues. There really isnt much from the other os that i miss all that much
>>740151796i'd say that if you want a peak linux experience there are really only three distros that offer anything better than cachy, those all being just infinitesimal autistic upgrades that you arrive at if you just can't let go of minor grudges that have ballooned out of proportion, artix, gentoo, LFSmint is more or less just easy and nothing else, it's based on an old display driver that's missing features you'd want to use on modern screens
>>740152492>I'm scared to brick my shitIt's impossible to brick your shit. Worst case scenario is data loss, but you should always have backups anyway

>>740155124thats what it will turn into eventually though even if steam doesnt plan for it. their store is the perfect ecommerce platform already to launch programs
>>740155137Just a handful of programs, not that much different from Linux, but unlike Linux I get a core OS that can actually run software I care about. As in, the entire reason that makes an OS worth a shit. Not some derangement syndrome that makes you treat operating systems as personalities.
>>740155137I still use generic preinstalled windows>no you can't use that>no you can't modify it either
>>740155205It won't lol, gamers want SteamOS. Gamers are cattle, they're attached to branding. That's why they despise Windows so much, it's not the OS itself as much as the branding, they hate Microsoft and made hating them their entire personality. They either get SteamOS, which to them is "Windows but good because Valve", or they won't switch to Linux, no matter how many idiotproof FOTM gaming distros crop up.
>>740155084It's just Linux optimized for a handheld.>much more game compatibilitySteam has the same Proton builds on every Linux system, and it all runs in a Steam Linux Runtime container so system packages outside of video drivers are practically a non-issue. Nobody needs SteamOS on a desktop and it's unlikely that Valve will ever officially support it on anything but their own hardware.

>>740126382I'm forced to run a Windows VM because i mantain a legacy project made in C# (ASP.NET MVC) but i 100% left Windows since the coof.

>>740159889>at least try to shill things properlyThey're getting replaced by AI
>>740160123Sadly it does not depends on me, i'm kinda forced by this client to develop on Windows. I suggested switching to Core (or node or even PHP, they should be able to use Laralel for their project) but they are hell bent on using MVC.
>>740159763DXVK is a native Windows binary and it often works on Windows giving the same benefits of lower CPU overhead and better frame pacing. I got 10fps extra in Crysis 1 on Windows 10 that's a DX10 game by DXVK putting less strain on the single thread the game's limited to. It's black magic as even on Microsoft's turf translating DX calls to Vulkan increases performance.

Is there a way to do a PIN to login like Windows? A shorter alternative to your main password that prevents use after a few failed attempts?
Cachy has been pretty impressive about two months in, not having messed with Linux proper for a few years aside the Deck. Not the functionality itself, which is great as I haven't found a game that didn't work, my last GPU choice paid off and then some, and undoing a full retard moment took me a whole 30 seconds by selecting an automatic snapshot during boot, but in bringing back that childlike wonder with the desktop having a significant evolution in your workflow (that's mostly on KDE, but still). That's something Windows hasn't managed to achieve since the XP to Vista/7 jump, rather you dread the changes and look forward to undo them.

>install Bazzite>takes me a bit to get used to it but I can now install mods without fail thanks to ProtonTricks
>>740170960good job anon, modding games on linux can be a pain sometimes but its one of the best things about pc gaming so theres no reason not to if you can.
>>740170960Congrats on getting microslop's claws out of your system. Welcome to the world of freedom
>>740166838I remember drawing a circle outline in GIMP under Windows at work once as that was the only thing I had available on hand. It's annoying and counter-intuitive, but it's not as impossible as people make it out to be. It's just annoying.Circle select, path from selection, trace selection. Though then you'll realize you can do abstract shapes with the lasso the same way, and it becomes very handy indeed.
>>740169465so tired of foot freaks shitting up linux
>>740171785Use case for a functioning DE?
>>740126382Yes! Been full-time Linux since November and haven't looked back. The only issue I had was nvidia being dumb, so I "sidegraded" 3090 FE to 9070xt and actually made money in the process. Runs much better. I'm finally done with windows, I even use my deck in desktop mode at work instead of the work pc lol
>>740170960>installing bazzite for the purpose of modding gamesyour biggest mistake, because bazzite is an immutable distro and that system was made for retards who don't want to tinker with files
>>740172027usecase for having such a breedable ebussy?
>>740172454what system level modifications are people doing on their atomic distros
>>740172454this is true desu, and its the main reason i dont use bazzite over fedora. Fedora lets me fuck up anything and everything and I constantly do, but then I can also freely do whatever I want and mod to my hearts content.
>>740145797my current build's parts total around $4500. I just like linux better

>>740168071no
>>740155137>Linux is better than Windows because of how easy it is to customize!!>"You can do that on Windows easily too">Uhmmmm why do you even want to customize it?
>>740173029This double standard is my favorite aspect of Linux cultists. Yes, I do use third party software to personalize my experience on Windows to make it better.Oh, you want me to use nothing but Microsoft's default experience so that I am annoyed by it so that I believe that only on Linux can I reign in the desktop experience to my own liking? Well isn't that a wonderful double standard!
>>740159514>>740159592looks like things are constantly being improved on there, whereas windows just keeps getting shittier
>>740173129Look, there is nothing wrong with customizing windows to declutter, debloat, or anything else really. In fact im glad that you are, really, you SHOULDNT have those things installed. But I think there is a difference between customizing your computer to add things that you want vs customizing it to remove things that should never have been included in the first place.Its much easier to realize what you need than it is to realize things that you shouldnt have installed. The opt in vs opt out kind of mindset. Linux does not come bloated with AI and malware like windows does. Atleast, I dont know of any distros that do.
>>740126382>vmwarelel
>>740173401>ubuntu>gnome
>>740173184>whereas windows just keeps getting shittierThen the K2 project got announced. And everyone went out of their way to deny that it'll ever change anything as (You) are so mindbroken you NEED to see Windows only get worse, and any hint that this trend won't continue sends you into a frenzy.It's like the two cakes meme. Linuxfags are butthurt that someone else has a cake and want it covered in shit. Normal people are happy that there are two cakes to choose from.>>740173318Yeah I get ya, but in case of debloating modern Windows, there's not much to do really. It's all automated with transparent PowerShell scripts. Disable unnecessary background services, uninstall unnecessary software, tweak group policy settings, one and done affair, and after that you can add whatever software you prefer. Ideally you just fresh install IoT LTSC that's as barebones as it can be OOTB and go from there. And let's be fair, any Linux distro will have similar involvement if having to source an ISO, know what to do with it and then set things up yourself. The average Joe is just as fucked either way. The average Joe doesn't even know you can boot from a USB stick to reinstall Windows.People overdramatize how bad modern Windows is without ever using it or knowing that you're not powerless under Windows, because people care more about turning everything online into a flame war nowadays than they actually care about the things they keep antagonizing.I have been using both 10 and 11 for a good while now, switched from 10 LTSC to 11 LTSC recently and... it's barely any worse. People just love to whine. How good your personal experience with an OS is is as good as your skill in handling it, it's not a binary choice of Windows = bad, Linux = good. If you don't understand Linux, you'll have a bad time with Linux. Same with Windows. It's a skill issue through and through, modern computing is just this fucking hostile.
You can tell many things about a person who doesn't use GNOME>they're retarded >they're brown>they're a tranny Yes, many things indeed.
>>740173493>just werksi don't see the issuei just really don't like kde, more than i dislike gnome
>>740173683>It's all automated with transparent PowerShell scriptsSure, this is easy for you to do because you know it exists, but im talking more in general. The average windows user has no idea this exists or that they can or should do this because the purpose of Windows is to obfuscate the malicious and insidious data harvesting that microsoft is doing. So for you, using windows is probably fine, but you are still using an operating system that was designed from the ground up for extremely corrupt reasons and you will have to continue to fight with it and always be on guard for any update that might introduce new and even more insidious ways to fuck you over. I do not have to worry about that on linux because my distro respects me, my privacy, and my intelligence.
>>740172454Immutable distros are for users who prefer to install programs in containers instead of shitting all over their PC like tech illiterate winjeets
>>740173709all 3 of those apply to people who DO use gnome though sorry anon.
>>740145797I don't run anything with apple but isn't most Mac hardwear locked down?I've not used an apple anything since my ipod touch in like 2009
More competition is good, I hope it does actually improve things on windows. But I'll believe it when I see it, they would have a ton of work ahead of them to get it to a decent state. My linux pc does everything I want, and it isn't microsoft, so I'm keeping the setup that works for me
>>740153745i used my hp reverb headset on arch linux last week thougbeit
>>740173912>obfuscate the malicious and insidious data harvestingIt's been proven time and time again that the shit that's harvested is not as insidious as people make it out to be. It's basically half-assed automated QA where none of the data collected can be used to track you down. Obviously that did nothing since Nadella firing QA only made Windows worse since you can't figure out what the user's problems actually are from some basic data on how they move and click their mouse.There are enough forensic tools to prove this "evil spyware" rhetoric as closed source software doesn't mean it's impossible to see what it's doing, otherwise the whole anti-virus concept wouldn't work to begin with. Plus, if it was truly as evil as everyone says it is, every major cybersecurity expert, without exception, would not only tell people not to use Windows, they would show all the proof of how bad Windows is for your privacy to the point where Microsoft would have a PR disaster on their hands.And again, yes, I am aware such tools exist. The average person using Windows, again, doesn't even know that you can boot from a USB drive to reinstall Windows. And you're expecting them to switch to Linux to set them free. That is the single biggest fundamental flaw of Linux evangelists. They all overestimate the technical literacy of the "average Windows user" they're targeting.They're too incompetent to set up a bootable USB drive, let alone enter BIOS to boot from it. None if this discussion holds any merit when this is the level of dumbfuck we're talking about.
>>740173912this
>>740174268>It's been proven time and time again that the shit that's harvested is not as insidious as people make it out to be. It's basically half-assed automated QA where none of the data collected can be used to track you downOk anon, ok, we totally believe you and not all the security experts who say otherwise.
>>740126382yes got one spare ssd with showos in case i wanna play some cancerous online game with anticheat, recently switched to bazzite fine bu holy shit whats wrong with linux usb periphericals compatability? my micro go nuts in discord voice chat disconnecting and not functioning
>>740126382made the full switch about four years ago now. just about to switch back to XLibre Cinnamon with Arch base system. I think COSMIC will eventually be my Wayland DE, but it's still way too underbaked for a 1.0 desktop right now. GNOME with extensions feel retarded and I'm not going back to KDE.
>>740174375If you were the one to bring up "malicious and insidious data harvesting", it's on you to bring the evidence of what's being harvested and sent where. All of that can be verified, every file operation and packet movement under Windows can be monitored, so it's more than doable to dig out all the data that's been collected.Now if you say that that's not true because Windows hides all of it from the user so that they can never ever find it, then you're admitting you're talking out of your ass and you don't understand how computers work, period. Not only are you ignorant of how Windows NT works, you're ignorant of how computers work. The perfect example of a Dunning-Kruger.
>>740174408>bu holy shit whats wrong with linux usb periphericals compatability?Drivers are made by the companies who make the hardware on windows, and those companies usually dont care enogh to make linux drivers, so its up to the linux community to create those drivers usually from scratch, so we often dont have everything up to par because of this.
>>740174664>All of that can be verified, every file operation and packet movement under Windows can be monitored,Why even bother lying about this when its verifiably untrue, windows is closed source for a reason, they would consider it the highest level of security risk if people actually saw all of the source code for everything.
>>740174734Also the design of Linux as a kernel makes it difficult. Since it's a monolithic kernel, you're expected to contribute your drivers to the kernel. That's a lot of hassle even for some random peripheral gimmick. With Windows NT, the hybrid kernel is designed so that device drivers are "tacked on". A company pays Microsoft for a signing certificate, and they can release all the drivers they need, and they'll likely work in perpetuity as Microsoft hasn't touched how the driver stack works ever since it got rewritten during the Longhorn project.Basically it's much easier to create drivers for useless junk on Windows than it is on Linux.>>740174881>closed source means it's a literal black box>only open source code is safeAh, thanks for confirming without a doubt you reside on Peak of Mt. Stupid. Guess all those security researchers that disclose malware and create tools to fight it are all snake oil salesmen since according to Mr. "Genius Linux User" over here, it's literally impossible for them to see what these viruses do as they're all closed source binary blobs. No way to see what they do, nuh-uh. Anyone who says there is must be a paid shill or something.
>>740175065>>closed source means it's a literal black box>>only open source code is safeYou know, being disingenous like this to try to win internet arguments is something very immature people do and theres no reason to keep talking to someone like that. Good day to you , I can almost guarantee you will reply with something about how you have obviously won this argument now that i wont engage with your extremely disingenous posts ;)
>>740126382yeah, a year and a half on linux now
>>740174734ok any solution to that?
>>740175356This is what you've said:>Why even bother lying about this when its verifiably untrue, windows is closed source for a reason, they would consider it the highest level of security risk if people actually saw all of the source code for everything.In response to me saying that you could 100% verify everything that Windows collects and sends. Implying that it is literally impossible to prove your statement false. Then after I reinforced that you're wrong, you had to say that I am wrong and "disingenuous".I mean, I'm sure in your head you've "won" this argument, but to any reader with a brain it's pretty obvious you belong in the looney bin.
>>740126382Yes. Only thing that didn't 'just work' was Phantasy Star Blue Burst. I got it after a little bit of fiddling.
>>740175534more linux users -> more reason for device makers to care about linux drivers ->higher chance they will help in creating linux drivers. Right now linux is still small enough that most hardware manufacturers dont need to care.
>>740174052I stopped caring about the quality of Windows. I switched out of principal. It is my computer, not Microsoft's. No one should try to control how or what I do with my computer except me.It's odd how my attitude towards system updates improved when there wasn't an attempt to force them on me.
>>740175812>I switched out of principalDid you also throw out your English dictionary on principle?
I've used Linux since I was a kid desu. I try out Windows the way I see some people try out Linux, install it for like a month to a year on a secondary machine and play with it and then go back to Linux. Everything is backwards over there it's genuinely weird
>>740126382For a few months now. A friend had their shit bricked by a bad windows update so I figured better switch.Not really a huge fan of the hoops I gotta jump through, I'd love it if Windows wasn't shit.
>>740175940>I'd love it if Windows wasn't shitTrvth nvke. There is no "better" OS. Just one that sucks less, as all options are dogshit.
>>740126382I switched to linux only for ai sloppa when local versions of Stable Diffusion released to the public. Stuck around cause I'm too lazy to keep switching back and forth and linux plays all my games anyways.

Yes, over a year ago. Haven't had any issues running anything I used on Windows. If you just play games, there is zero reason to stay on Windows. People shit on it for trannies or whatever, but for plug-n-play just install Bazzite.
So from what I understand you want to avoid a Nvidia GPU and go with AMD? I am in the market for a new machine and wanted to use Linux and intended to get a 5070. What's a sidegrade that will be compatible?
i dont need winblows
I'll only switch to linux when it works as well as windows and without any workarounds.
>>740176493not him but i installed my first linux distro when i was about 9 years old
>>740176853Lmao it's kinda impressive. I'm the kind of retard that hates change so much I'll use the same version of Adobe Photoshop for 23 years without ever updating, and Microsoft made me switch.
>>740177001why my plug n play usb doesnt work sometimes?
>>740175909There's nothing wrong with what he said. If you're gonna go for an ad-hominem attack, it should at least make sense.
>>740177167Dont let the AMjeets scare you. Nvidia works fine on linux and most linux users still use nvidia. Get the 5070
>>740177167NVIDIA is not THAT bad. The drivers are much better than they used to be. That being said don't expect it to be plug and play like AMD.
>>740177549stop setting random anons for disaster, yes nvidia is better than it was for linux, but it's still a far cry away from actually being acceptable. amd is literally just plug and play.
>>740177549>AMDjeets Well I'm getting an AMD processor unless you have an argument against that and in support of Intel. My last machine had Intel and it was ~okay~ but I'm biased against it because it was integrated graphics (lol).
>>740126382>switching to linux on my personal PC computerLMAO. I'm forced to use that shit at work already, no way I use it in my free time as well
>>740177840Intel is struggling and needs your financial support
>>740177328I haven't tried it myself but in case you didn't know it should be possible to run older versions of Photoshop. There should be some kind of package on Github for it.
I only use linux on laptops
>>740126382nah, I just have 2 PCs side by side, one with Win10 and one with Opensuse Leap(for now)also a Deck for lighter games
>>740177945The devices that need proper hardware support to have a battery life longer than 5 minutes?
>>740177805Agree. When I see people having issues with games on Steam 90% it's Nvidia. Not to speak of the performance issues. Also when people have trouble with updates bricking their desktop environments it's also Nvidia drivers being the culprit in shitloads of cases.
Its crazy that some people are so mindbroken by marketing propaganda that they engage in console warring tier shitflinging for their chosen GPU of choice when in the case of nvidia there has been a long history of them fucking over linux users to the point where even Linus Torvalds was literally like "fuck Nvidia". Amd are hardly are good company or anything, but in this case they are clearly the least worst option to support, but only for now.

>>740179001NOOOOOOOOOOOO i dont wanna use gnome
>>740179220Cachy is pretty idiot proof but without the immutability rails of SteamOS and Bazzite. Haven't figured out how to have a Big Picture session on the non-handheld ISO yet though.
>>740126382Yes, the only thing I ever use Windows for is tax software once a year.

It seems AMD "enjoyers" can only justify their purchase by pretending that nvidia cards stutter and crash every few minutesI have no problems at all. But dont listen to me. Let them tell you how my card works...
>>740179657AMD fans real quiet after not playing games...
>>740179657If it works for you thats ok anon, AMD works for me and my performance is great. Now how can we get the cousins in charge of both companies to stop colluding and fucking over consumers so we can get some decent fucking hardware?
>>740179709Yeah, they only kick in past 40c.
>>740179657i don't give a shit what you use.If it works for you, greatTired of this team sports bs
>>740179220cachy recently got the handheld mode like bazzite and steamoslike the other anons said its pretty idiot proof as long as you dont start messing around with stuff
>>740179220>I don't want to have to learn how to actually install an OSInstalling Linux (for most distros) is the same as installing Windows. You did install Windows once, you didn't ask the Best Buy guy to do it for you, right?>all the required packages and shit Still needed to install shit that didn't come with the OS.You don't need the gabecube, just brains (or AI to help you I guess).
>>740179737kill them and their family tree easy
shan't use a distro with systemd or wayland
>>740179809does it have issues with usb drivers?
>>740179657NVIDIA could work perfectly and I still wouldn't use it for all the damage they've done to the industry. They are giga kikes.
>>740179972i didnt have anyonly issue i had was the kernel loading the wrong driver for my motherboards fan controllerbut the fix was easy enough
>>740179904I'm not giving up HDR.
>>740179220u dont want to use arch if you dont want to learn the OS, it's the defacto DIY hand curated linux distro. just use cachy
>>740179992i despise everything of their technology fucking up games with physx ,gay tracing or even arkham knight port for some dogshit car fart smoke effect
>>740179657yeah thats great that it works for you, sadly this is inconsistent compared to AMD and the reason why you shouldn't use nvidia if you want to swap to linux. stop being insecure on a basket weaving forum
>>740126382Yeah. Working well so far, but it took a while to get things alright.
I would like to, but I'm not sure I'd go with a dual-boot setup, at least not on the same drive. I'd rather get a separate SSD and install Linux there, completely isolated from my Windows drive. The problem is that SSDs are ridiculously expensive nowadays, which is kind of depressing.
>>740177167>>740177840Anon I would still go for an AMD card if you plan on using linux primarily. Yes nvidia is much better than it was, but in November I switched to linux and in march I switched from 3090 to 9070xt and AMD works so much better under linux. Plus nvidia still loses 10 to 20% fps in DX12 games on linux. A 9070 or 9070xt would be comparable to a 5070. Use optiscaler to inject fsr4 into dlss games if you value upscaling.
>>740180337dual boot is easy as long as you remember to install windows FIRST
>>740180337Yeah, you want Windows on its own drive because it likes to overwrite the boot sector on its own.
the last time i looked into linux someone said gock within 3 minutes of joining the discord. linux is literally where you go to talk about femboys. they dont even play games.
>>740180868>of joining the discord. User error, closing this issue.
>>740180924Nevermind, I'm retarded and didn't saw that it was a reply.
>>740180868>joining the discordyou have to be 18 to post on this site
>>740180868>the discordAnon...
>>740180868Use case for a penis?
>>740126382I will only come back to Linux if S76 will be able to fix COSMIC. GNOME has no features and KDE Plasma has too many issues.
Yes, I do use Linux. How did you know?
>>740181272the anime background
>>740126382I will not use any linux distro based on Ubuntu.. I would use Steam or Arc.
>>740181272>Lain>Konsole>CachyOS>Cringe custom style for 4chan>RedditFucking 10/10 bait, you win
How did CachyOS get so popular? archinstall has been a thing for years and it keeps getting better.
>>740181481Less setup than archinstall
>>740181481Just werking, sane defaults.
>>740181272This isn't Lain enough, make it more Lain
>>740181272you have to restart pc every hour
>>740181452>KonsoleWhy would you use anything else on KDE?
>>740126805What are you doing anon
>>740181616Konsole is the defaultThat's why.
>>740181559it's like emulatorfags not getting past the title screen
>>740181539doesn't seem that much more different from Zorin and that has no trannyrespect clauses, also there's ultramarine which is apparently developed in Thailand for "just works" distros.
>>740181272go back to your desktop thread autist
>>740181272
Do I really still have to install steam-devices with rpm-ostree to make controllers work with the Steam flatpak?
>>740181481Youtube and reddit shilled it to migrating winjeetshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EkaZlF5eF0
>>740181272Give me that 4chan theme please
i have a i7 12700 32gb and a 9070XT should i try? i play a lot of slop tho
>>740181481gaymer optimized packages and kernel
>>740145518I used to use KDE way back when I first used Linux in college. Very good way to get off of Windows at first. I eventually got used to other distros since I ended up becoming a lot more familiar with CLI stuff and computers in general.
>>740181824Depends, multiplayer/competitive AAA slop?
>>740181824yes so I can laugh at you when you brick your pc
>>740177915I don't really care for it anymore, switching away from windows was significant enough to uproot everything. I just use krita now, it does the job. Just to be clear, 23 year old Photoshop isn't some god software that is irreplaceable and has features you can only dream of in other software. It's pretty basic and doesn't even support over 2tb hard drives.
>>740181806Mint used to be the Jeets go to shill thoughbeit? Mint is the worst tasting fucking flavor ever anyone who likes that and doesn't immediately go "eww, tastes like toothpaste" is probably some subhuman.
>>740126382I really want to but I have terabytes of data and no idea how to efficiently get them from Windows to Linux
>>740182093fuck you nigger thin mints are god tier
>>740181616Use Yakuake. Not having an instant access console on a computer is almost painful for me nowadays.
>>740181992a lot of milsim stuff yes online
>>740181616kitty lets me see album art covers in HQ with rmpc, konsole doesn't
>>740182195>subhuman spotted.ez (you), lmao, only good use of "mint flavor" was in after eights, anything other than that? garbage toothpaste shit.
>>740181824Using AMD/Intel GPUs on Windows is like using Nvidia GPUs on Linux.
>>740126382Yes. My TRANSition from Windows to Linux was gradual. First, I was booting regularly into a live ISO environment to experiment, without installing things. Then I did a dual boot install, because I hit limitations with the live environment. Then, I noticed that I didn't need Windows 99% of the time and just nuked it. Still haven't bothered with a Windows VM and it's been a year since the switch.
>>740181824Install ZorinOS to your PC's drive before going full retard (basically just partially load it to some parts of your main drive, can be undone) to check out to see if you can handle Linux.
>>740126382I'm okay with windows for my gaming PC and macOS on my work laptop.Last thing I need is fiddle with Linux's horseshit.
>>740182387Check https://areweanticheatyet.com/ if it's 'denied' or 'broken' it won't run on Linux, otherwise, most of everything runs with Proton, but you can always Google "'game' + runs on Linux."
>>740182390>kittyIndian dev.
>>740182093It used to be, but linux mint now has a bad reputation for being the "noob distribution" which noobs dont likeAll of the youtubers use arch or cachyos so they want to use it too
>>740182762exceptions don't make the rule, most Indians are subhuman.>you got a billion peeps?>50% of them will 100% be subhumans>20% of them will either be mad legends or retarded shitters.>10% of them will be peak cringe or peak god.just how things work.
>>740126382Started distrohopping on the side in late 2023 for my desktop, fully committed in 2024 (save for extremely rare instances where I need to go into my Win10 drive for edge cases). Bedside faptop is still Windows 10.
>>740182762yeah but he makes a damn fine terminal so
>>740182626I wish I could buy a macOS license for non-Apple hardware. I really don't like Apple desktops.
>>740182864Yeah, but that guy is a stereotypical pajeet. He filled calibre with pointless AI bullshit for no reason. I don't trust his judgement
>>740182980probably AI coded, white people and the real deals program their own compiler.
>>740182812The only thing I can complain about Mint is the fact that it's based on Debian and got older packages. Fedora-based Mint with KDE is my dream noob distro recommendation (which is basically Universal Blue/Bazzite).
>>740182864>>740182980https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot
>>740182762Glass house.
>>740126382I dual boot, if windows keeps getting worse im going to delete my windows partition.
>>740126382I installed Linux on my laptop because I had to use flex and bison, so I'll try them out for gaming and see if I'll switch on my desktop too.
>>740181557>Lain enoughBetter?
>>740183281>if
>>740183296Couldn't you use msys2 or cygwin?
>>740183676No, needs more lain
>>740182626yeah but when did you put on the programmer socks?
>>740183695Its getting so bad it feels like its intentionally trying to get me to delete it. It cant even tell the fucking time properly, icons disappearing from my taskbar every day, weird crashes after a recent update, triggering bit locker for no reason. If I didn't do game dev shit for fun and needed UE id have nuked it years ago.
>>740126382Holding onto dear life with my dated W10 PC. Either they fix W11 enough by the time I have to switch (they won't) or I'll finally have to look for a semi-functional linux alternative.
Yeah. The only fucked thing for me are saved games on pirated games because ProtonOS creates really weird folder names which you have no idea what they're for. Otherwise it's been pretty smooth. I run CachyOS on my ROG Ally and used it docked like a desktop, too.
it's already 3rd and the monthly survey is still not up??
>>740126589>>740126382Win11 was a bridge too far.Went to Cachy around start of this year.NEVER going back to Windows.
>>740184541I use w11 daily and its complete shit, don't try to think it will get better, it won't.
