Pretty sure it’s always been like that. You technically can enable secure boot, but to my understanding updates will force you to set up custom keys again, and I’m fairly sure Nvidia refuses to release drivers that can be signed.

I have many drives. Some games won’t run if Linux is installed anywhere, however.

I don’t think I want to retry at this point until I get a different GPU - I definitely appreciate the offer though. I also forgot to mention that I produce music mainly in Ableton, and have a ton of third party plugins.
In case it helps someone:
Current specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
RAM: 32.0 GB DDR4 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPERI’ve tried several distros over the years, and since ~2022 have tested arch, pop!, and nixOS. NixOS was definitely my favourite, but I’d have graphical issues in web browsers, never mind games.
Some games have sort of worked, but they always ran SUBSTANTIALLY worse than they do on windows. Even games with legitimate Linux versions like Factorio looked like shit. It’s hard to describe, but i always had weird horizontal tearing/delay patterns in the games (didn’t look like a v-sync issue to me).
I generally try the different versions of whatever the newest drivers are for my GPU at the time. I used to have a 1070, then a 3070, then a 4070. I have always had the same issues on the distros i have tried in the past as well (primarily ubuntu).
I would love to be able to dual boot again, but without being able to sign the bootloader for anti-cheat without an insane recurring time commitment, i’m not really interested currently. And i know id end up wasting 10s or 100s of hours debugging things that shouldn’t be broken in the first place.

Because despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 weeks ago:
Meanwhile my windows PC restarts if I launch a game with kernel level anti-cheat, after updating my GPU driver a few months ago. Just tried the new driver, instant reboot.
MS and Nvidia are fucking entirely made of vibe-coding morons, and apparently testing is no longer needed.

- Comment on Today is the 40th Anniversay of Zelda! 1 month ago:
My first gaming memory was watching my dad kill Ganon when I was probably 4 or 5.
I have played Link to the Past so many times over the years, probably most recently when I got a switch in 2018. I’ve actually still never beat the preceding 2 main games, having been turned off by their lack of direction too many times.
These days I think Tears of the Kingdom is my new favourite (although Ocarina and LTTP will always be in my favourite games of all time list). I found the story to be better than average for Zelda, and the final boss battle in that one is just amazing - maybe not very hard, but I can’t remember any game with a more spectacular ending.

I do, but I assume there may be better options out there now.

The problem sites are never the big ones for me, it’s always the weird niche blogs that have the answer to my question that end up being obviously AI generated.

- Comment on Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’ 4 months ago:
Personally speaking I don’t care at all about dev tools, as they have always been used. Vibe coding does bother me though - if you don’t know HOW to code, you probably shouldn’t be doing it.
The real issue though is using AI generated assets. If you have a game that uses human made art, story, and music, no one is going to complain about you using AI. Even if you somehow managed to get there via vibe coding.

Imagine, if you will, the possibility of NOT increasing prices 50% to give us the “additional value” of shit we don’t want.
I was happy paying for games, but suddenly I’m extremely willing to get back into piracy. Fucking weird, right?
