Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

IDK I liked 7 pretty much as much as I like XP. For me it was 10 that was just alright.

My brother convinced me to switch to 11 when I built my most recent gaming desktop and I somewhat regret listening to him but I know dual booting is a waste of time for me and I'm not quite ready to make the full jump to Linux because my desktop has a 4070 Super. It'll ahve to wait until my next PC. Fortunately, I don't have the version of 11 with Recall pre-installed at least.

I use my Steam Deck more than my gaming desktop these days anyway.

Why is the 4070 an issue regarding linux? Nvidia drivers have come a long way since the beginning of the year, currently running modded cyberpunk on my 3070 Ti without issues.

Wayland on Nvidia has a lot of issues was the big one for me. I ended up selling my Nvidia card and bought an AMD card instead.

What AMD card did you get? I switched to Linux and want to drop Nvidia.

[-] dropped_packet@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

9070 XT, similar performance to a 5070 Ti. Needs kernel 6.13.5+ and Mesa 25+ but it's been flawless for me on Arch using the CachyOS kernel.

@Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip

Performance is still noticeably worse. Based on some cursory research, the 4070 Super gets like ~20% less FPS on Bazzite compared to Windows on a 4070 Super and I tend to play high fidelity shooters on my desktop so frames per second matters.

[-] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Fair point. Do you know if they where using the open source driver for thr graphics card? Or Nvidia's proprietary one? Because I'm on Fedora using the Nvidia driver and I dont notice that much of a fps drop. It is some, maybe 5-10%

I did not look that deep. Its not been important enough since again I mostly have been using my Deck more than my Desktop anyway.

@HalfSalesman@lemmy.world

That's also my experience, and with experimental wayland and ntsync support in wine 10 it feels even smoother (but i don't have numbers to back it up - maybe i'll benchmark wine 9 & 10 parallel, if i do i append the info here)

Why does the 4070 super keep you from switching to Linux? I have a gaming PC with a 4070 and I dont really have issues. No more than I did with windows in general
