Thread 106836388

pic related: this desktop ad. No I don't want to buy Doom, fuck off, I don't want any fucking desktop ads.

You can disable these

Shouldn't have to. And on Linux, you _don't_ have to.

Nvidia has officially supported and shipped their drivers and applications for decades now.
It's quite literally the same app.

>>106836400
Don't you need to explicitly sign in and then manually opt-in to receive rewards in the first place.
OP says "buy" and "ad" but this is a free game that comes with your GPU after you register it.

this was the day I fully switched

>>106836470
>this is a free game that comes with your GPU
Mate, I bought my GPU years before this game came out lol. It's advertising a free SKIN for Doom that NVIDIA users are entitled to claim.

>>106836503
>turn on reward notifications
>get reward notifications
>make a thread about how your notification for a free skin is an advert to buy something
I think I'm gonna switch immediately.

>>106836520
>turn on reward notifications
I didn't turn a damn thing on; this is the default behaviour.

>>106836526
Still makes no sense. This story is fishy.

>>106836532
>Still makes no sense
What's not to get? I got a desktop ad telling me to buy Doom so I can redeem an NVIDIA-themed shield, thus I said "FUCK THIS".

>>106836545
I just think it's weird how your story isn't consistent and that you decided to migrate operating systems because of an application running on the OS rather than the OS itself. It's especially strange when you consider it's the same application on both systems.

>>106836564
>isn't consistent
Wat.
>when you consider it's the same application on both systems
lol...........No.

>>106836388 (OP)
Because of some shit you opted into installing? That isn't part of the drivers

my windows hard drive died and its been getting progressively more jeeted to the point i havent bothered reinstalling

theres just zero point now windows has been getting worse in every conceivable way since xp basically

>>106836400
Don't bother. OP is baiting. He posts this exact same image every couple of weeks, and it's always some nvidia software.

>>106836388 (OP)

>He posts this exact same image every couple of weeks
Why do people tell obvious lies that can be instantly and trivially debunked?

>>106836638
Maybe he wants attention for some reason. Like problems in his personal life.
We should at least inquire about it instead of ignoring him outright.

Windows 10.

>>106836388 (OP)
For me, it was the Bing desktop search bar in 2023. Windows 10 did a lot of fantastically annoying shit, but this one was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Then use a corporate distro.

All of this can be disabled, the notification itself even has a "don't show me this shit again" option.

I started using Linux as main OS more than 15 years ago. Initially, I only used it because of tools like gparted in live distros, then was curious what else it could do. Turns out, once you leave the idea behind that you absolutely, positively need that one specific Windows software and start exploring, you'll find a whole new world of interesting and useful stuff. Even better: most of that new and interesting stuff is available on Windows, too - so once you switch your entire workflow over to free software, it doesn't matter anymore which OS you're using - might as well fully switch over to a Linux distro that you're comfortable with. For me, that's Linux Mint.

>>106836745
literal troon distro doe, it has a 50% chance of a mass suicide happening (in their distro chatrooms as they don't even have a office) where they ship a update that wipes all your drives and uploads all your private data to some troon site. i cant treat anyone seriously who leaves their biggest social media presence that can get eyes on their project and get them sponsors or donations like xitter, just to own the chuds. they're like every linux project beyond the main linux kernel a security risk at any point that could do something incredibly mentally ill or dangerous, these people are deeply damaged and unstable, trusting them with access to your PC is beyond mentally ill.

>literal troon distro doe
There's other corpo distros like Ubuntu and OpenSUSE too.

>>106836804
Not really, when you use linux, you are no longer using your computer to get specific stuff done, you are at that point using linux to get linux programs to get stuff done on linux. Everything you do from that point onwards will no longer be simple user centered computing where you do things nonchalantly and everything just werks, no your entire workflow and everything will be centered around your troonix distro, every time you want to get any new software or hardware, you can't be a unbothered aryan just adding it and going on with your day, you have to be a pent up leaking troon that checks first how to install it, whether it works, whether you're safe to buy it and whether it supports troonix and your distro specifically.

W10 is dead and after trying W11 i didn't feel like it's a something that you can work with even after applying everything to turn off telemetry, AI and other crap after verifying it with fiddler it still did a lot of connections after just basic search for file. So i installed mint... and im pretty happy anything adobe is handled now by VM and games here work pretty good beyond Tarkov and Valorant etc which i don't play anyways so im happy. Linux feels extremly stable at least mint for now... i tried Arch but after i seen what was happening with AUR i didn't feel good about it so retracted back to Mint which is where i stay for now at least it just werks.

>>106836829
fedora is not ibm, unless you are using redhat enterprise linux it's the same as running Nyaarch or Hannah Montana linux that some morbidly obese indonesian or pakistani tranny made in his basement while giggling and playing with his two incher. openSUSE is the same story, especially with Leap practically being dead and having like 2 contributors so if you're stupid enough to install it have fun with your deadendshitos, and Tumbleweed is practically factory upstream with barely any testing that breaks every week if you use opi codecs. Ubuntu is literally a niggerhell african word for globohomo, that comes with nagging in your terminal to use Ubuntu Pro and give them your email. There's nothing good in linux, it's deadendshitos.

That might be the case at some point while learning how Linux works, but I've passed that point pretty quickly. I can't even remember when I last had to compile something from source that I didn't write myself. I do a lot of actual, productive work on Mint and general OS management stuff like making sure the most recent update didn't break any of my settings is less work than on Windows, actually.
Sure, it might be even better on MacOS but I don't like that for other reasons.

>>106836841

Okay, so why shouldn't somebody use RHEL for free?

>>106836860
You can't get past that point, it never ends because linux desktop is not even 1.5% of overall computing devices. And it's mostly used by third worlders or piratefags that won't purchase anything anyways. No software or hardware will ever go out of their way to support it. The transition pain never ends, you will never feel comfortable in your new postop body or OS, or feel accepted by society.

there was this wiki for aib memes which's dead. it had articles for linux where loonix tinker trannies were called deranged but also said tinker trannies had a subsection where they laughed at winshitters, everyone agreed that bsd was cuck lisenced and ittodlers were gay, and it all was mixed with some objective facts. this is where i've learned about linux.
a few years later i began to become interested in coding and generally being a powe user. except i'm retarded (really naturally bad at programming) and my first choice was k&r with an ncurses snake as a pet project, all in cblocks ide. naturally i've failed. i was discouraged to code for a while, but was still interested in computer stuff in general, so i remembered about linux and decided to research it. a few days later i had first got ubuntu iso and booted it (it was shilled as the user friendly choice which just werks), then made a debian vm with no graphics (because ubuntu also was shilled as a choice for mentally invalid). though initially confused, i did have access to internet, so i lurked and adopted (i genuinely liked cli interface since it and had and has no distractions, yes man pages and you could/can just install software via a package manager, a wow for a windows casual like me). since then years passed.
i think a great deal of /g/tards are prejudiced against everything but the os of their choice. and since windows, macos and android (which's not linux and never will be) have the majority of humanity using them, linux, bsd or any other alternatives got rejected simply because they're not these systems. now everything's gay and s you get both loonix shills and people who ditch their os for linux because they have no other viable choice. this isnt natural and the future is grim.

>>106836866
RHEL is not free, and even if you installed it it's barebones with a tiny repo focused on enterprise and servers, and not general desktop use programs that you'd expect to have access to. If the average fedora/ubuntu midwit troon can access around 2% of all software/hardware that windows/macos users have access to, then the average rhel troon after signing up for rhel and bottoming to get the license would have access to 0.5%, or you'd have to rely on flatpaks, that are complete security risks that ship outdated packages without any testing and are usually considered wrong to use (example: valve doesnt recommend them, chrome/firefox/brave don't recommend them as they break sandboxing, fedora maintainers don't recommend it and ship their own tiny fedora flathub repo as it's a security risk and has low testing control in flathub)

Sure grandpa, whatever you say. There's a reason that if you go on linux youtube channels the only people using them are either ecelebs testing them out for views who on the side use proper windows/macos laptops, or it's some indian teenager trying to become a pajeetgrammer, or some old pensioner nigga in his 50s-60s-70s talking about how troonix is the future (nigga doesnt know he'll die in 2 years and troonix is a deadendshitos that will never be anything but some vague promise of a future that will never come)

>>106836910
Okay, but I'm not an eceleb testing it out for views while using a windows/macos laptop, nor an Indian teenager trying to become a pajeetgrammer, nor an old pensioner nigga in my 50's/60's/70's talking about how Troonix is the future, none the wiser to my inevitable death in 2 years.

Constant blue screens. Even after reinstalling Windows like 3 times. Got the the point where I couldn't even open Visual Studio anymore without a bluescreen, so since I couldn't even use the software that was keeping me on Windows there no excuse left for me to properly switch to Linux.

linux mint does

around w11's introduction, seeing numerous examples like picrel and the countless cries about "we are using the ai now saaaaar" was enough for me to realize the "death by a thousand cuts" were already too deep within windows. too much knowledge of old windows' systems is lost to time and the new freaks trying to build ontop of it with ai code won't make it better, only much worse

I ragequit and installed Nobara that day and have been on it since January.

After about two weeks of using it on my home desktop, my work computer laptop forced the Win11 update and Copilot everywhere. I submitted an IT ticket to and had my work laptop (windows ThinkPad) replaced with a MacBook Pro.

I honestly can't remember even though I've been using it full time for close to 2 years.

I fully understand OP. Linux gives you the feel of control over your machine. Also, it is very good for tech literacy, and at the time of a toaster collecting your personal data, that's very valuable.

Cheers lad.

This seems like the right thread to ask in.
MS cracking down on local accounts is the last straw for me on my desktop (with Nvidia GPU). I've been running Linux on my laptop for a few years now and really enjoy using Hyprland currently as it reminds me of when I used AwesomeWM in college in 2012.
Are Nvidia 's proprietary drivers consistent enough to not be a problem on Wayland/Hyprland at this point? I will still need them for some games, but none are AAA/anticheat-ridden so they should be fine in Proton. I'm also very comfortable using Linux already but less with a graphical environment outside the laptop as the other machines are all servers.
Going to do Arch if it matters for the question.

>>106836388 (OP)
When the end of support for XP was announced is when I jumped ship. I knew Ubuntu existed, I had heard of Linux but that was the extent of my knowledge on the subject. I had a Dell Pentium 4 and a Pentium M laptop at the time and my search for a free (as in free beer) lightweight OS led me to Lubuntu. For some reason Ubuntu kept getting worse with each new release so I distrohopped a little bit, tried Arch, Opensuse, decided I would stick to APT so now I'm on Debian since the release of Buster. For me it just works.

Search not properly working. Saars telling you to sfc scanow every 5 seconds. Retarded defaults (updates, telemetry, AV and so on) and having to use retarded random scripts to fix them. Old software not running on modern windows versions. Bloat. Shitty driver support...Among other stuff.
A lot of that still happens on Loonix, but I had a better experience. I really tried to like W8 and 10.

They've deactivated my purchased Windows 10 Pro volume license after some update and shilled Windows 11. I'm in the club of Windows 7 Ultimate chads who never wanted 10 to begin with but here we are.

Never again, and now that 11 requires a activation via internet in the latest ISO I simply cba.

Windows is not that bad post first setup, and I reset my PC maybe once a year or two. Nothing changes the fact that modding vidya on linux is borderline impossible when it comes to indepth modding that doesn't boil down to just dragging over files, so it'll never be an option for me.

Why not use classic shell?

the usual schtick: muh privacy, i dont like microsoft, windows 10/11 sucks, just found out that you can change your computer's OS
but more unique to me is that with winglows i had to PAY for them to get my telemetry, cause of pay as you use proxy services. even my chink android phone didn't do that. unacceptable. it's what got me to use linux mint but i've changed distros since then

>>106838684
it won't no matter how hard you try because windows uses Native React for it's UI components which is funny because they also allow you to open legacy UI which works way faster, this does not apply to every soft like file manager for example or panel with it's search bar which is of course integrated with edge browser by default for some unknown reason

That's a free game OP, don't you want the slop? I got Star Wars Outlaws for free when it came out with my new GPU. Imagine my surprise, such a fucking abhorrent piece of shit, for free!

I want to switch to linux, and most of the software I want to use works there, and I use open source software to fuck around with my photos anyways, and I even figured out how to make my chinese controller work perfectly there, but unfortunately, I got accustomed to having a display+GPU combination that limits my options so severely on linux that it is just not worth it.
>Nvidia GPU
>Fancy high refresh rate QD-OLED monitor
>Want HDR, like on my 'eck
>HDR only works on Wayland
>But HDR only really actually works on KDE Plasma because I guess I have a specific nvidia GPU and specific monitor that nobody has that make GNOME HDR not work
>KDE Plasma only has options for fractional scaling, not font scaling
>Fractional scaling fucks and ruins fonts here and there
>Firefox (exclusively on nvidia, as I tested it myself) shows very deformed fonts, and when wayland fractional scaling is enabled on it, the scaling makes it so font sharpness is up to window size for whatever reason (sometimes really blurry, sometimes really sharp)
>The moment I set up my monitor to the highest refresh rate, adaptive sync misbehaves and makes the monitor blank out at times
>Get random window and panel artifacts that won't always easily go away
This is all headache inducing and sure, I fucked up by buying nvidia, and like I tested myself, AMD does work these problems out, but 1. I'm not switching to my older AMD GPU and 2. I'm not buying a new AMD GPU until it's considerably better than the shit I already have and 3. I'm not getting rid of HDR specially when to some extent it does work, and really works well when properly set up.

Anyways OP, there's this thing called NVCleanstall. I'm surprised you couldn't look that one up.

Zero value adds since Windows XP. Windows 7 was only good in light of Vista being a turd.

Been casually watching Linux ever since Windows 8 and switched when it could play games. The anti cheat problem is pretty good because none of the ADHD dribbling codtards can follow to Linux and shit up the place. AAA FPS and MOBA players are the Indians of the gaming world.

Why are freetards universally technology illiterate subhuman nigger troglodytes? At least macniggers openly admit to being technology illiterate subhumans, freetards on the other hand brag about being tech geniuses and don't even understand basic level shit like toggling a system setting.

I mostly just played around with it for few years. Then once I had an IT job I started taking home a lot of hardware and now have a micro desktop with fedora on it I use for most of my internet shit and a full desktop that still runs 10 for gaming.

>>106836388 (OP)
Windows XP was too bloated for my desktop

>>106854481
it is a difficult position to be in if you want to switch but have both recent and expensive hardware that isn't ideally suited for linux, and this is probably reasonably common as nvidia is a very popular option.
i'm not really sure what the solution is, it would depend on your preferences and situation. you can either;
- deal with the downsides and use it anyway
- sell your card and replace it
- dual boot/passthrough/use another machine in the mean time
- just wait until you're ready to upgrade
i've probably done a bit of each of these in some form over the years, but for some time now my computer has been comprised of parts purchased with the intention of using it in linux. it's a first time user problem which you won't need to deal with at any later point

>>106842590
I believe you'll see it in KDE 7. For a new install it was in the greeting that first popped up when you installed.

I considered setting up an x11 desktop session and separately a gamescope session to have HDR working on games and maybe some video player through it like mpv. Basically make it work like my deck (which has KDE running on x11 on desktop mode). Kind of an annoyance but I doubt I can benefit from having HDR on desktop just for editing tools.
I considered selling the card but I'm shit at selling practically anything.
Dual boot is more annoying than the first option I thought of. It would open up using some software I know doesn't run on linux well at all, but I'm not that invested, it was just 20 bucks lost on a lightroom alternative full of AI bullshit.
I've been patiently waiting for a while for nvidia drivers to just get better. These are issues that don't happen outside of that, so if they just fucking fixed these I wouldn't be inclined to fuck off from Wayland.
Or, or, if Plasma devs decided to restore a setting that was there before Plasma 6, and let me change the font scaling factor, that'd be a huge help. It wouldn't solve everything, but GNOME has this (through GNOME tweaks, so it's not exactly exposed) and it gets overly criticized for not having fractional scaling support, but increasing the font scaling factor doesn't fuck up my fonts the way setting Plasma to 125% scaling does for whatever reason.

Everything sucks. Linux just seemed like the least bad option.

These threads are a living monument to how braindead freetards are. Freetards are a mockery in and of themselves and they openly broadcast their technology illiteracy proudly for the world to see, thinking they're "owning M$" with it, thinking everyone is laughing with them, not realizing everyone is just laughing at their retardation instead.
