Disabling automatic updates should be a no-brainer. Really.
How could you do this to me?

Is Linux gaming only workable if you have an AMD GPU? I was bummed to hear its not viable with a NVIDIA card
Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I’m now 4 laptops deep in installing Bazzite. Tldr: anything with Nvidia open drivers will work r/n. In practice, anything above a 1060 is supported no issues.
Anything below and you’ll have an issue with the display engine Wayland. You can make the old drivers work but only under X11. Gaming on an old silly laptop with GeForce Nvm 5200 is totally doable. Will run unreal engine games like Bioshock or portal. But requires manually setting everything up in Arch.

Most NVidia cards work well. Nobody will recommend them because NVidia is known to pull the rug out of your perfectly working card all the time, and being completely aggressive against people trying to make the cards work without by their own.

I have a 2080 and an Intel CPU – Linux Mint worked perfectly out of the box.

Linux runs nvidia fine. It can run most games without a problem. Whether or not it can run a game that’s heavily gatekept is another matter altogether.

I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.

Just make a live boot drive and try it out! Maybe get a little partition setup. I’ve been running Kubuntu for 3 weeks just fine! I am tech savvy though, but most of the things I needed to be savvy at were only because my PC is also my media server. It was less than 1.5 hours to set up gaming and all my window management options and whatnot. And now everything just works.

I have 1065 Ti without any issues. The nvidia not compatible is outdated and they started playing ball recently by working on open source drivers. Nvidia is huge in the AI space and AI computing is pretty much 100% Linux.
There are gaming issues though on Linux in the form of anti-cheat systems, but other than that running things with Steam Proton just works although specific games that use obscure windows APIs might not be as performant.
Dirt 3 used the NTsynch for the NTFS filesystem and once it got fixed the frame rate saw a massive jump for example.
Long term people are supporting Linux gaming a lot more since it’s already 3% of the playerbase and requires pretty minimal effort for added 3% audience to make Steam Proton play work. Also with the release of the Steam Machine 2026 is going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop™

It works fine for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. There’s a slight performance loss on Nvidia cards but not enough that you will ever notice.
hperrin@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
I’ve been using Fedora with my RTX 3090 and it works great. I haven’t tried the newer cards, but the 30 series seem to work great in my experience.

AMD is much more reliable and has improved for decades. Nvidia has their proprietary driver and new open source driver. Both work ok, but definitely less good than AMD.

I’m planning on making the switch soon. Was thinking of using an old Apple Airbook M1 to explore Linux
watson@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Just a heads up, running Linux on Apple’s proprietary hardware can get a little complicated. If this is your first for an into Linux, I recommend using a standard PC laptop.

if only there was a much better operating system for gaming

Bazzite’s been working pretty good for me. Was honestly easier to set up too, and fights me less, and runs smoother, and also doesn’t spy on me.
bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I want to like bazzite, but their dependence on fedora makes me nervous. As soon as IBM tells red hat to drop x86 32bit things will start to fall apart quickly.
T4V0@lemmy.world 1 day ago
to drop x86 32bit things will start to fall apart quickly
Why dropping x86 32-bit is an issue?
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Glad it works for you. I gave it a shot, and had some big problems, in part with desktop usability and installing non-gaming apps. So much dependence on virtual layers.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
Git gud.
Just kidding. You can do most things in distrobox, it’s pretty easy. On the rare occasion, you might need to layer a package with rpm-ostree to add it to your OS image.
Everything else is flatpak pretty much. There is a slight learning curve if you’re familiar with mutable distros, but you can do pretty much anything you want on it.
somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
You can try CachyOS instead.
Bazzite is immutable (& atomic, but that doesn’t matter) so it’s not the easiest distro to install software onto.

Loving pop!_os for gaming
definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
CachyOS has been absolutely fantastic for me. As a quick example: I just installed Minecraft Java edition with the Prism Launcher. It’s in the CachyOS repo, so it was 1 step to install Prism Launcher. Even easier than Windows—I didn’t even need to search for a download page. Cove to think of it, I’ll also get automatic updates whenever I do a 1-step full system upgrade, so it’s going to be 0 maintenance.
The year of Linux has arrived. I used to make fun of all the Linux evangelists, but they’re right this time. Linux offers a better experience than Windows, for most common use cases.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m easily in the phase where I’m dropping $20+ on games without even thinking to look what their status is on ProtonDB. Windows is still around for some back-compat stuff and old projects I’m finishing, but I’m good where I am.
That said, on Cachy, does anyone have recommendations for a Calendar app that works with MS? I’ve tried a few, and a number of them don’t work on Cachy.

I recently switched from Windows to Linux and decided on Linux Mint and I’ve had no problems so far, has pop!_os a lot of benefits over Mint for gaming? But I’m also not exclusively using my Pc for gaming, which is why I chose a disto that seems to be more versatile(?) idk still very new to Linux
Phegan@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Mint was the other option I was going to go with. I didn’t do a ton of deep diving, I tried pop first, it worked great, I didn’t look further.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
They’re all pretty much the same. If you find a distribution that works with your hardware, it will perform the same as the next one.
The few differences will matter (or not) once you’re experienced with the system.In short, don’t worry about it.

ByteJunk@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Spin up some Linux distro while you wait.
Especially if you’re a “power user”, you’ll have a lot of unlearning to do, might as well get started and go in prepared for a lot of disappointment.
Katana314@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I wouldn’t count on Valve for a desktop OS. Their main responsibility is a good user experience on the Deck and Machine, which will be pretty console-like. Desktop mode’s good enough for maintenance and modding, but not for vast hardware support.
There are some other general recommendations across Lemmy, but the ones that come up a lot are PopOS, CachyOS, and Bazzite.

I don’t know if this is the right time to mention that the end result of the “sneak attack” in that clip was a hug and a cute moment between friends… Which … I don’t think was the vibe you were trying to get me to imagine.

I just upgraded my hardware and when booting Windows back up, I got the error that basically says “Your license no longer works, you need to buy a new one”. I’m happy to say that I’ll be using Bazzite as my main driver for now on.
