  Is Linux gaming only workable if you have an AMD GPU? I was bummed to hear its not viable with a NVIDIA card

    I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.

    Most NVidia cards work well. Nobody will recommend them because NVidia is known to pull the rug out of your perfectly working card all the time, and being completely aggressive against people trying to make the cards work without by their own.

    I have a 2080 and an Intel CPU – Linux Mint worked perfectly out of the box.

    I’ve been using Fedora with my RTX 3090 and it works great. I haven’t tried the newer cards, but the 30 series seem to work great in my experience.

    AMD is much more reliable and has improved for decades. Nvidia has their proprietary driver and new open source driver. Both work ok, but definitely less good than AMD.

    Linux runs nvidia fine. It can run most games without a problem. Whether or not it can run a game that’s heavily gatekept is another matter altogether.

  I’m planning on making the switch soon. Was thinking of using an old Apple Airbook M1 to explore Linux

    Just a heads up, running Linux on Apple’s proprietary hardware can get a little complicated. If this is your first for an into Linux, I recommend using a standard PC laptop.

      Especially on an M1. In a different architecture you don’t have Apple’s translation layer, so you’re stuck with ARM software only

      • watson@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        yeah, ARM software support is only so-so (but getting better), major issues are mostly hardware related. for example, DisplayPort and Thunderbolt don’t work yet.

      Ahh ok. Maybe a dual boot on my PC is a better option. I’ve just always had bad luck with dual booting. I always seem to mess it up

        highly recommend installing linux on a separate ssd and removing the windows one for installation.

        Also your steam library most probably won’t like being loaded from the windows drive, because it is formatted to ntfs, which isn’t perfectly supported on linux.

        Windows will fuck up that pc you have running a linux partition so fast. Its possible you’re not doing anything wrong, aside from using windows.
