Andy Young, an ex-Microsoft senior software engineer, posted a message on X/Twitter bemoaning that even with his $1,600 Core i9 CPU and 128 GB of RAM, Windows...
No shit!!! We all can see it. I have a laptop that I had install windows on because Nvidia sucked on Linux. So, I tried 11 and it was godawful. Laptop is pretty beefy actually. Shit lags everywhere
I’ve seen lots of people recommend PopOS for NVidia users. I personally haven’t tried it yet, but could be worth a shot if you get sick of windows again.
It’d be a cheaper solution than switching to an AMD card for my gaming pc, which is my current plan. I do want to upgrade from my 2080 anyways, but graphics card are just SO expensive
This is the biggest problem with Linux IMO. If drivers could be universally fixed on Linux to be as easy as or easier than windows and Mac then the competition would have no chance. I can deal with other issues., I can deal with weird glitches, but if I can’t even use my devices that’s kind of a non-starter.
It’s not that I can’t figure out drivers, it’s just I don’t want to spend 5 hours on it.
Fair disclosure, I have been traumatized by NDIS wrappers
my school has new lenovo thinkstations in computer classes, and ofc win11 on every machine. students busy having to close teams that pops open every 23 seconds, all those cpu fans blowing at full speed, it’s hard to hear the teacher at all.

Nobara has been working well on a 3060ti

I’m sure you know this, but it is not linux’s fault, it’s your device’s maker who refuses to make their driver available for Linux.

Fuck teams. Go into its settings and tell it not to start on system boot. You’d have to this every time it gets an update.
