Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game
datavoid@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoBecause despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.

It sounds like you tried one or more Linux distros and it didn’t work out for you. Sorry to hear that.
Would you mind sharing your specs and the distro you tried so other people in the future can learn from your experience?
Also, if you are still interested in ditching windows I could do some research and see if I can help you out with your current specs.

I don’t think I want to retry at this point until I get a different GPU - I definitely appreciate the offer though. I also forgot to mention that I produce music mainly in Ableton, and have a ton of third party plugins.
In case it helps someone:
Current specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
RAM: 32.0 GB DDR4 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
I’ve tried several distros over the years, and since ~2022 have tested arch, pop!, and nixOS. NixOS was definitely my favourite, but I’d have graphical issues in web browsers, never mind games.
Some games have sort of worked, but they always ran SUBSTANTIALLY worse than they do on windows. Even games with legitimate Linux versions like Factorio looked like shit. It’s hard to describe, but i always had weird horizontal tearing/delay patterns in the games (didn’t look like a v-sync issue to me).
I generally try the different versions of whatever the newest drivers are for my GPU at the time. I used to have a 1070, then a 3070, then a 4070. I have always had the same issues on the distros i have tried in the past as well (primarily ubuntu).
I would love to be able to dual boot again, but without being able to sign the bootloader for anti-cheat without an insane recurring time commitment, i’m not really interested currently. And i know id end up wasting 10s or 100s of hours debugging things that shouldn’t be broken in the first place.

I have a friend with a 1650 super which is way worse and he’s running it fine on Bazzite with no issues. Although there’s definitely a performance penalty which is narrowing on a monthly basis.
The only real blocker is Ableton IMHO. There’s no way around that.
If you manage to get a second drive, you could dual boot without any issues at all and no risks whatsoever.

I have many drives. Some games won’t run if Linux is installed anywhere, however.
