Edit: and it hasn’t really been bad either. The shader compilation after every gfx driver update is a bit annoying. That’s about it.

If it’s shader compilation under Steam, turn it off in settings. With advancements in graphics drivers and Proton, it really isn’t needed anymore.

I disabled it about 12 months ago and haven’t noticed any difference in performance whatsoever.

2042 always used EAC, and EA refused to enable EAC for Linux.

This was my experience precisely. These days, installing some .msi or .exe.from some obscure corner of the internet seems somewhat ass backwards.

Only BFV. BF1, BFBC2, BF3 and BF4 all still run perfectly.

Running a 4k 27" monitor under KDE Neon 2.0.4, fractional scaling works better than it does under Windows.

GOG Galaxy runs perfectly on Linux via Lutris. I use it all the time.

CUDA works fine here, in all honesty it’s never given me any problems. NVENC works fine, DLSS1, DLSS2, and DLSS3 all work fine, RTX runs at acceptable FPS compared to AMD under Linux - and NVIDIA Reflex is supported as of VKD3D-Proton 2.12 and DXVK-NVAPI 0.7.

On top of that, FSR is also fully supported - as is HDMI 2.1.

I only use Firefox, and hardware web rendering works fine. Hardware video acceleration isn’t working yet, but running back to back tests at 1080p with hardware video decoding under VLC, the difference between hardware video decoding and CPU rendering is about 5% CPU usage on average running a desktop PC with adequate power supply/cooling capacity as opposed to a laptop with limited power supply/cooling capacity.

The only problem with Wayland under KDE 6 is the lack of any form of sync, but explicit sync has ‘finally’ been merged, and should be supported under the 555 branch of drivers. Once explicit sync is supported, I really have few Wayland issues left to complain about.

Overall, I really don’t experience any showstopper issues that have me wanting for Windows in the slightest.

I’ve been running NVIDIA under Linux for about six years now, with no more issues than one would encounter running hardware/drivers from a number of manufacturers under a number of platforms.

In all honesty, I’ve encountered far more issues regarding HP printer drivers under Windows.

I run both the Epic Store as well as the EA App via Bottles, and I had both up and running in about ten minutes.

You can also install both launchers under Steam via Proton. The process is a little more involved, but far from difficult.

NVIDIA user here, no issues to report under X11.

Because they haven’t been affected by Manifest v3 yet. As soon as they realise just what Manifest v3’s all about…They’ll give a fuck.

Running KDE here under X11 and games play as smooth as room temperature butter.

Insync takes care of that. I even use Insync on Windows PC’s as it’s better than native cloud syncing apps from the likes of Google and Microsoft.

Firefox + uBlock Origin + PiHole = I’m wondering what all the fuss is about. I haven’t seen a single adblocker warning on YouTube yet.

Stop using browsers based on Chromium people, it’s not that hard.

FF w/uBlock Origin and + PiHole = No YouTube disable adblocking pestering here also…

I’m gen X, and I don’t care if I have to retire eating Dog food, I’m not working until I drop. The capitalists can bash that idea straight up their date.

If it’s good enough for the boomers, it’s good enough for me.

I still game using Windows 2000 on a Pentium 3 Tualatin based system.

All my retro games run no problem, Tiberian Sun is the shite.

Hell, as a small business owner providing third party IT technical support/repair services, I’d simply like to be able to advertise my actual technical support services in any form whatsoever on Google’s bullshit platform.

But for some vague and obscure reason, third party technical support and repair services are banned from advertising under Google Ads - Something that most definitely was not always the case.

At minimum they could provide a realistic and fair certification system for businesses that are obviously legitimate, assuming that providing ‘the best experience for the consumer’ really is Google’s main focus - They seem to be able to provide such a system for questionable online dating services boardering on human trafficking not a problem in the world.

But the shameless unspoken reality is that Google are only interested in maximizing the marketing presence of their own certified partners for the service and repair of Google’s own range of products, while burrying the little guy.

You can’t even configure the word ‘apple’ as a keyword search term in your advertising - The customer can’t see the keyword, it’s just a search term - But you can’t use the name of a piece of fruit in your advertising.

Fuck Google.

Yeah, no such problem running Firefox here…

I bought my 980ti about eight years ago, and it’s still supported by NVIDIA under both Linux as well as Windows. That’s acceptable support IMO.
