Linuxfags are the crossfitters of the nerd world

Nobody gives a fuck how little resources your barebones OS uses when you have to spend 3 hours on github scrolling through brownhand commits every time you want it to imitate windows functionality

Just like people who actually have a real fitness plan think crossfit is embarrassing, actual software engineers think using fotm distros for recreational activities instead of just letting Windows do all the work for you is fucking cringe

It's for wannabes that love to say "HEH IM ON LINUX" but can't code a basic text output without a 3 step guide so they spend hours on ddg and github just for the privilege of acting like they were able to solve a single problem on their own

But why? W11 is essentially "free" at this point in time and it wouldn't surprise me if they start going HARD on ads within the coming two years while selling the "Pro" version as an ad-free experience or some other gay bullshit like that and at that point they will most likely FORCE you to use a M$ account and buy it from them directly, no more keys.

To add to this, I considered cucking myself out of HDR outside of games (maybe by just using a fucking gamescope session just for gayming, and X11 desktop for everything else). But no.

Your "industry OS" shits itself from old games, has abysmal dogshit UI and uses 5GB ram in idle without doing anything useful. But of course you got Copilot, OneDrive, BitLocker etc.. """features""" no one asked but still no gamescope alternative on Windows. Useful features literally require Winhawk hacks and regedit stuff. File manager has no options at all. No way to disable auto pin and enable one instance mode. Probably the funniest: You need terminal command to make a local account, and for current state you can't even make one without internet connection (unless you know what to add in regedit while installing Windows). The absolute state of modern Windows.

>Why should I use linux?
Because Microsoft keeps making things worse. Win11 has arbitrary requirements (TPM chip, Secure Boot) that turn perfectly good hardware into e-waste. It also forces you to use a Microsoft online account to use a computer at all. There may be ways to work around that -- but if you have to go though that, might as well put the effort to move to an OS that's not openly hostile to you, and will perform better even on modest hardware. Also, Linux is more customizable. You can install completely different desktop environments to fit your liking.

Yes and no, for just daily tasks/browsing the web it works perfectly but their most modern GPUs and and GPUs older than a 900-series there are some broken bullshit that can't be fully fixed by the community because Nvidia locks their hardware down to the point where the only way to access it is trough their proprietary linux drivers which are all somehow worse than the worst AMD drivers on Windows.

If your using anything between a 900-series to a 4000-series you won't run into anything worse than a little bit of graphical glitching (minor texture flickering and resolutions not working until you try setting it twice) if your using the open-source drivers, but say goodbye to any Nvidia functionality that is tied to their proprietary drivers or that is more advanced than DLSS 3

A lot of shit you might use or maybe not.
RTX HDR and video enhancement for instance.
I think Reflex is supported on linux but I don't know if you can actually make it somewhat work with games that don't support it. On windows nvidia has just about 20 little hidden things that you can tweak to get some absurdly, stupidly low input latency. There's no tool on linux like MSI Afterburner which can help with that.
That brings me to undervolting which is another thing you're going to have trouble with there. Nvidia doesn't have its own version of LACT. In fact when you switch to Wayland you can't expose a lot of nvidia settings (except for some cli tools). You can watch out for temperature and power usage and that's about it I think.
Raytracing performance is subpar. Not everyone cares about this, but some newer games (like indiana jones) look like dog vomit without raytracing enabled. They really didn't even put any effort there. At all.

That said nvidia has some unique things that AMD somehow manages to screw up on linux.
For instance (well, this is more the HDMI forum being jackasses) HDMI 2.1 VRR support is just kinda cucked over AMD. If you're using some fancy new monitor, you might actually have a high HDMI version support, with high bandwidth, but actually be stuck on Displayport 1.4, requiring DSC and such other shit for any high refresh rates or resolutions. That isn't always a huge deal.
Speaking of display things, AMD also doesn't have any exposed setting for output color format. If it incorrectly detects your display as YcBcR 422, you need to go out of your way and use a modified EDID. And I heard that mismatched refresh rates on multimonitor setups are better handled on X11 over nvidia as well. And if we're here complaining about nvidia not exposing some of these new gimmicky features on linux, AMD doesn't exactly do that either 100%.

switched earlier this year, I installed fedora because supposedly it's the most stable, and used it for a couple months, then fell for the meme and installed cachyos, both working fine for most things, the only time I messed something up was when I tried to edit the fstab to add my other ssd, that didn't work and I had to delete that line in emergency mode. also some things don't work well on wayland yet, so I had to figure out how to install plasma and the whole situation about what these are.
I still have my windows 10 in an ssd just in case, but I didn't have to use it yet
