AMD. That was an early switch I made since the nvidia experience on Linux sucks (at least compared to AMD). Minimally it's the difference between juggling poorly supported drivers and not dealing with drivers at all (since AMD's are in the kernel), but I've gathered that there are many compatibility issues as well.

Ah. NVIDIA is why I haven't made the commitment to tux yet

nvidia user here, made a "soft switch" to linux some time ago, and got to say the current 555 series drivers made a world of a difference. Most games just work.

Haven't made a full switch due doubts with music and video production stuff. But, slowly testing my way in and dualbooting between OS's in the meantime

Does RTX work? I'm running a 3070

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

yep. Tested GOG version of Cyberpunk and RT, DLSS, and all that work. Other than that, games with RT or DLSS I've tested and deemed working: Observer (RT&DLSS), Enshrouded (DLSS), Warframe (DLSS).

I have a 3090.

Hmmm well that is promising... I'll keep that in mind whenever Microsoft kills windows 10

There's no reason to, there's nothing wrong with Nvidia. I game on it without any issues. Most people on Linux use Nvidia.

It is decidedly more work, particularly for those not familiar with Linux. But you're right that there aren't necessarily other issues -- it all comes down to the particular titles one wants to play. ProtonDB is everyone's friend.

For me personally, I love the simplicity of the all-AMD approach, and as I'm only a 1080p gamer, I really don't need the nvidia horsepower anyway.
