I’ve been trying to switch back to Linux desktop for a couple of years. I’ve been very successful lately with “Pop! OS (nvidia)”, I think this one might finally stick.
Comment on Windows 11 will reportedly display a watermark if your PC does not support AI requirements.
IonAddis@lemmy.world 5 months agoI’ve been trying to move to Linux for about 20 years, but gaming issues always sent me back to Windows.
I tried again after hearing about how proton and steamdeck have made it so much easier for most games and it’s true. Been exclusively on Linux on my gaming rig since about September. The only one I couldn’t get working was oddly a little simple indie game, it lagged badly while stuff like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk ran fine.
Microsoft is pushing this at a very bad time, because you CAN game on Linux now.

What about with NVIDIA hardware?

Yeah they're following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.
I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.
I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.
But since they won't do that fortunately there's things like Atlas OS.

They kind of do already with Windows Enterprise (or Education) edition. Its certainly not exactly what everyone wants, but its significantly better than the lower versions.
Many colleges and universities that have volume agreements allow their students to run Windows Education edition. If you’re in this situation, GET THIS. Not only does it not cost you anything, but you’ll have access to all the enterprise features for turning off lots of pushed garbage.

I paid for 10 Pro
It was still a dumpster fire.
