Most of the world computer hardware is running linux already. Linux is the most popular os by far since all the servers run it. Desktop linux is very new and has gone far in a short time. With more users being lured in (and the windows exodus might be able to lure in the vital tech people) more problems will get solved.

Amd cpu and 4070ti super here without issues. I suspect intel being the usual dumpster fire.

Mine works fine, I knew nothing about linux and all I did was disable secureboot and copy paste some commands into the terminal. Now games that used to crash in windows don’t and games that didn’t run run. And yes spent tons of time scouting forums, going through dumb windows control panels and messing around in regedit to troubleshoot it without a solution.

I am happy going cold turkey to fedora. Windows is the less user friendly and functional experience considering i didn’t even need to scour the internet for my weird audio device or graphics tablet drivers. Also steam uses multible times more ram than the os and my phone messages are on the screen and clipboard gets shared.

As an artist i quit photoshop a while ago cause it was just terrible for anything but indepth photo editing. And now irs terrible for anything since it just steals your art and you pay increasing yearly for it. Without the ability to cancel.

I was clearly stretching the analogy of the person I was replying to show how bad it was.

I used rufus as well to get a working install and it worked flawless.

There is no reason to ever rate a game badly. If it runs poorly or not at all youre the moron for using banana instead of tomato. If you don’t like it cause the game is not good, its your own fault for making a dish following a curry recepie when you hate curry.

What are your issues? My problems were games on ntfs filesystem and secureboot. After fixing those two i can say windows is terrible and requires tons of tinkering to get things working as opposed to linux where you just plug it in and it chugs.

I had no interest in linux half a year ago and now I go around telling people that linux is less tinkering and headaches to play games and use daily than windows (cause it is)

If it don’t work on linux cause it was made for windows, fine. Console software doesn’t run on any os natively for example and I aint mad. If it is following the trend of “it works on linux but we ticked a box on our anticheat so it doesn’t” then I am a bit upset.

Steam vr works for a ton of people flawlessly. I only have jitter issues but most have told me theirs works fine. So ymmv as there are people on windows who have vr issues too.

Both have been seeing significant improvements recently or have been gotten working. You can test most recent fedora without installing to see if it works.

In my experience linux runs every game I want and has done it with less issues, crashes and tinkering than it was on windows 11. I constantly see posts from windows users about how some game doesn’t work or crashes while it runs fine on both deck and pc. Only games not working are those that are disabled by devs to scapecoat massive amount of hackers onto linux users.

Yeah instead give it 0/10 cause checks random steam review Marver rivals crashing randomly.

But fuck linux users for rating a game bad cause developers made a deliverate descision to block their system cause “all linux users are cheaters.”

I tried using the fedora disk image tool on windows11 and it bricked my usb stick despite it seemingly completing all fine. A lesser known disc image tool worked well. Most likely not conspiracy but with Microsoft and Intel colluding to ensure Intels dominance makes me suspicious.

I mean if the game you paid money for is deliberately broken to shaft you, you are a clown for reviewing the game positively. Judging by the complaints of every game with linux-breaking anti cheat, it has failed to remove any of the cheaters.

I got banned for replacing radical lefts unhinged mass murdering posts key targets with those of radical light to drive home a point that they’re unhinged. Don’t get why reddit protects hate speech and calls for mass murders that have consistently led to the largest genocides in the world.

I had a similiar tale. I just started programming course in uni and took the OS class where we interacted with servers a ton through bash. Then I realized I spend so much time mucking around in the myriad of control panels and regedit of windows to get basic things functioning and to diagnose constant BSODs that I might as well go to linux. Turned out linux is the experience windows markets itself as: easy and streamlined. It is just a lot less work than on the windows side once you get used to how linux does things differently. Overall experience has been smoother, workflow has been nicer and all my BT stuff and audio equipment works with less errors and bugs, while not requiring ANY installs. Once I got past the errors that windows would also get if you set up your BIOS and filesystems for linux, it has been smooth sailing on my nvidia gpu even. Only issue is jittery VR that I haven’t bothered to look into as I simrace on my monitor now.

As a farewell gift, windows 11 bricked my fedora boot thumbdrive. Twice.
