Hats off to Valve for Proton. No dual boot nonsense with Windows needed any more.

  If you can get decent drivers, that is...

    Except for exotic or recently released devices, isn't the driver situation on linux better than in any other OS?
    • ekianjo 6y ago
      In terms of user experience, it clearly is. No need to install anything (mesa is baked in the distribution for Intel/AMD, and for most distro installing Nvidia drivers is done automatically by the installer these days).

    I have NVidia RTX 2080 and can play almost all AAA games just like AMD GPUs owners. Which drivers are you referring to?
    • remram 6y ago
      I'm also on NVidia. Using the official drivers causes a lot of glitches unfortunately, as soon as I plug in a second monitor. I'm glad it works for you though.

        What distro?
  • moistbar 6y ago
    AMD's drivers are built into mainline Linux, and Nvidia's drivers are basically just the Windows ones with a different kernel module. I've honestly had a better experience with AMD cards on Linux than I have on Windows.

      This seems to have been the case for a few years yes. I'll definitely get an AMD card next time, I should have researched it better.
