Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.

Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.

How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.

    The only trouble I have with my card is having to prepend prime-run to every program that I want to use it.

    I’m not sure if AMD gaming laptops have the same issue, but if they don’t then that would be a huge benefit in their favor.

      I have a laptop with an Rx 7600s. There was two games I had to use prime-run because they wanted to use the igpu instead. Other then that haven’t had to. The two games were Verdun and Tannenberg. Isonzo works perfect though.
