I still see people asking which distro to use, is it ok if they have an Nvidia card? How ready is Linux for a gamer? I have been 8 months now on Linux, it’s about this hard to have an Nvidia card: click update. The way I switched was to populate the second m.2 slot on my MB and install Linux there, I chose Nobara, that way I had the fallback of Windows 10 if I had issues. Well, I still have Windows 10, it exists as a console with no internet access, it runs my Skyrim setup with it’s 982 mods that I can’t be arsed to move. Everything else is on Linux, it’s the default and daily driver. Look close, you can see my system automatically updating OpenMW for me, quietly supporting my 260+ mod remaster of Morrowind. If you’re wondering whether Linux is ready for gaming, yea, it is. Give it a try.
yes, they have improved their drivers quite a lot over just these last few years. you will have a couple of small nagging issues, but its mostly fine now.
when you do have big problems its still kind of annoying though ngl, but most people can run nvidia cards just fine on linux now.
Or small problems. Very annoying small problems. Like GTK 4 windows freezing when you try to close them.
