    I liked Vista. Aero Glass was cool.

    Nah they peaked at NT4.0! Fight me! I remember using that for my dual core celeron system! Abit BP6 FTW.

    (I agree with you about 2k, but I liked XP and loved the look of Vista so what do I know…)

    DirectX 3.5 only? IIRC.

  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.

      Nvidia on modern Linux (Wayland) is garbage and I’m buying AMD next time.

      Like seriously, people will try and tell you “oh you can install the proprietary driver easily now and they’ve come a long way”

      Sure, but it’s still garbage. I can’t even full screen a video in Firefox without a it crashing and a bunch of apps simply refuse to work without shitty environment variable hacks to drop back to software rendering

      I’m not a noob either, I’ve been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008

      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.

      @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.

      source

      • Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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%

    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

  They are a monopoly protected by patents. Completely unamerican philosophically.
