I used Linux for about a week, every game ran way faster (60 instead of 20 fps on ultra detail) - but all games were very unstable and crashed frequently (despite the clear performance advantage.)
I also had troubles getting the low latency kernel working properly for music production. I just could not figure it out. Something to do with WineASIO, JACK audio and pulseaudio. FL studio worked flawlessly, though some fonts were missing (‘easily’ fixed using winetricks and installing them)
On windows, all I had to do was install the focusrite drivers.
So for now, until these apps and devices have native support, I unfortunately am stuck with windows :(
A lot of these problems could be attributed to my computer specs, it’s a bit older:
8gb ram (plan to upgrade to 16 which is the laptops max), GTX 1050 ti, 2.8-3.4ghz i7
I also had troubles with Deep Rock Galactic and a native application as well. Maybe a poor configuration.
But the real thing keeping me from the switch is not being able to figure out how to properly use my audio interface for low latency real time production 😮💨
Yeah but unconfigured windows currently is the winner since it actually works, though I’d like to prove that wrong and properly configure Linux , however I’m in no hurry since I’ve had to format my drive twice already
