On the other hand I have a laptop with Intel and dedicated Nvidia card. Longterm ongoing heat problems (one heat pipe, one cooler, bad placement, thanks Dell) killed the Nvidia card.
Windows couldn’t run anymore and couldn’t be installed again.
With linux the laptop works again, at least with the Intel 3rd generation card.
From my experience running windows game inside wine, it’s run but doesn’t run smoothly like i running in windows
I don’t know if i missing something at installation process, i’ve been trying install it with bottles same thing happened
But good news now is i can find some games at gog that running on linux natively
I’m so confused by why people have trouble with Nvidia on Linux. I have been using Debian and Ubuntu for as long as I can remember with Nvidia and it’s never been a problem. Now I use Pop and it’s perfectly fine too. No problem running dual 4K 60Hz monitors… Is the support bad on non-Debian distros?
Depends on the distro. I spent a lot of time in the TTY with NixOS before I was able to get my 4070 Ti working. On Pop it worked out of the box, but that’s not a worthwhile trade-off to me these days. Nix or bust.
They probably meant “everything that they use it for”. Like, in my case everything on Linux works for me, but I don’t play multiplayer games or use Photoshop. I have a single old monitor that can’t do HDR. I don’t watch Netflix. To be fair and pedantic, not everything anyone could possibly ever want to do works on Windows 11, either.
Of course I haven’t tested everything. But I’ve tested over 25 games and havent add issues. I do some serious audio editing (Reaper + tons of VST), video editing (Davinci Studio) and even tried some game engine stuff on linux (Unreal , Godot). Pretty much everything worked out of the box on Nobara. It’s optmize for games and AV. Honestly, even a year ago, I had no idea Linux was so good. I use (and teach) macOS for work, and was using Windows for gaming, but now I can do 90% of my things on Linux.
