I have this question. I see people, with some frequency, sugar coating the Nvidia GPU marriage with Linux. I get that if you already have a Nvidia GPU or you need CUDA or work with AI and want to use Linux that is possible. Nevertheless, this still a very questionable relationship.
Shouldn’t we be raising awareness about in case one plan to game titles that uses DX12? I mean 15% to 30% performance loss using Nvidia compared to Windows, over 5% to 15% and some times same performance or better using AMD isn’t something to be alerting others?
I know we wanna get more people on Linux, and NVIDIA’s getting better, but don’t we need some real talk about this? Or is there some secret plan to scare people away from Linux that I missed?
Am I misinformed? Is there some strong reason to buy a Nvidia GPU if your focus is gaming in Linux?
Im putting together my new Nvidia PC build tonight. I was planning on putting bazzite on it, should I just use windows then?
Nvidia cards work just fine on Linux, old issues are parroted around by people who don’t know any better.
I had to roll back my kernel when deb flung out the last one due to drivers. They updated them yet as I haven’t noticed them in updates
I’d go with Linux, no natter what, but this seem exactly why I feel that we should be more clear. People may be building some PCs out there because others keep saying that everything is smooth sails with Nvidia. A lot of it is working now but there are some downsides and the recommendation is to go with AMD if you can.
