Maybe when it has a GUI. If I wanted to use glorified MS-DOS, I'll just open the command prompt.

I have Linux dual booting on my machine. No it isn’t there yet. I’m tech savvy but still it has issues where I prefer to use windows.

I keep going back hoping it will work.

For example a Simple task that has an issue for me, in KDE I browse to watch videos on my network share. Double click to open but none of the video players can see the file. Works fine on gnome, but not on KDE. This isn’t something I should be dealing with in 2025.

It depends on who you are

Until I can run special K or RTX HDR to inject HDR into games that don't support it I'm not going to switch to Linux on my main gaming PC. Its hooked up to my Nice OLED TV in my living room and games look too damn good with HDR to give that up for Linux. Yes I know HDR works on Linux now. But it only works with games that support HDR and the only "Auto HDR" solution I've found is a janky reshade plugin that only works with dx11 games and doesn't really produce very good results. I'm really holding out hope that valve figures out a nice auto HDR solution they can build into gamescope.

Hey I've got them beat I've never tried Linux!

(I need to though, I really do.)

[-] Martj9@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Last time I tried was last autumn. It didn't go well (again). I try regularly because computer OS is pretty much the last thing I have to switch to get rid of spytech. I suppose I'm not skilled enough, but it's not fair to suppose that people don't switch to linux on pc because they're lazy, or ignorant, or bad or things like that.

I just tried using Linux as my main Gaming OS desktop probably about a month and half ago after using it for college for 5 years.

I love Linux but for NVIDIA drivers and gaming it still very much isn't there.

[-] rolling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe try a distro that is known for compability with NVIDIA such as popOS or bazzite. I have used both for the last 4 years, and other then some specific games where anti-cheat or kernel level anti cheat is an issue (and honestly, fuck those games anyway because those developers spend extra effort to make sure their games dont run on Linux), the rest just works flawlessly.
