What made me switch permanently to Linux was the KDE Plasma Desktop Enviorment, using Archlinux (SomeOrdinaryGamers had this as his setup.) Basically has what I love about windows 7, and more. Even the desktop widgets!

For me, learning the GUI isn't the biggest issue but taking full advantage of my hardware and some online game's anti-cheat.

I know Linux driver support that Nvidia has put out has brought it to a pretty good place, but my understanding is that its still not at parity and there is a performance impact to switching.

It's a big incentive for me to make my next card upgrade an AMD card. That's already a laundry list of other good reasons to do so nowadays, but it's real hard to justify buying a graphics card in this economy.

The performance issue is there's no frame gen with DLSS yet. Other than that, I get better performance from my NVIDIA card on Linux than I do on windows.

Can't say much on the technical shit, but I've only had one game perform worse on linux. Most actually seem to do better, and I have an nvidia card. Though I don't play much in the way of multi-player or online stuff, so mileage may vary.

Fair enough, maybe I could give it another try.

Think of the steamdeck. That's Linux, it'll play modern games on decent settings and it's 3 year old hardware now. It's not an optimized OS like a PS4 ( nearest analog in terms of performance specs) it's a full linux desktop OS.

I know, I own one. I just also have a desktop with a 4070 super.
