At this point, the only thing I have Windows around for is VR. Everything else runs swimmingly (often better!) on the Linux partition, but VR still struggles to keep up…
Comment on Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes - but no apologies
PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI setup a mini pc using CachyOs for my Jellyfin server and I am surprised by how easy it all was. I am still going to use windows for my gaming pc but I am glad I got a Linux computer now.

yup, this is exactly the reason I switched back to windows sadly… but I made sure to delete all the rubbish… even if sometimes edge decides to reinstall itself, but I can manage to uninstall an app every once a while

Ive been on linux since the 3000 series nvidia cards. PopOS works well with nvidia cards. I used bazzite for a while with no problems, then switched to cachyOS and no problems there either.
My next card will be AMD but you should be fine to use linux with nvidia right now.

What hardware have you, I have paired back my jellyfin requirements to being just local but UHD.

Intel N150 DDR4 16GB Ram

It’s a bit optimistic. N150 processor is a low-power, budget-oriented CPU designed for basic tasks like office work. It is not powerful enough to handle the demands of modern games specifically in 4K

I am talking about playing 4K video files dude LMAO

I’m also on an NVIDIA GPU (4070 Ti) and I have no problem so far.
Even if the NVIDIA driver are marginally less performant, i think the leaner OS makes up for it.
I’m fairly sure I have better FPS and stability in Rocket League.
As long as you are ok with some tinkering with proton from time to time I think cachyos can work as a daily driver for gaming and most desktop tasks.

Anti cheat is the main reason I should have said on top of the slightly worse drivers

I play DBD, Arc Raiders, Wild Assault, and others just fine. Funny enough, it’s just a few specific big names with the most anticheat problems: Valorant, Fortnite, BF6, and COD. In some ways, I’m happy not to have to even consider them.

I do still play some Battlefield games that require windows, but Bad Company 2 (through Rome) and Battlefield 4 don’t which is pretty cool.
Tetsuo@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
Yeah. I have BF6 so…
But at this point I’m reluctant to boot up my windows partition just to play this game.
