Save about $100 and your sanity by using Linux over Windows

[–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 2 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It only saves your sanity if you have a full AMD build. Otherwise, you better be an IT pro or have the time and inclination to do a lot of learning. Nvidia drivers are notoriously problematic with Linux

Nvidia hasn't been an issue for like 10 years.

It's super easy to install either the open or proprietary nvidia drivers on most distros nowadays.

And KDE with Wayland works great on nvidia GPUs.

Stopn taking. There are regular NVidia issues. I don't even get reliable HDMI handshakes and HDMI passthrough doesn't work.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 points 1 hour ago

You got an abnormal issue, and I would help you troubleshoot if you'd like.

[–] Switorik@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Not anymore. I'd say there has been massive improvements in the last 3-5 years for Nvidia. This was one of the main reasons I didn't swap over sooner.

[–] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Guess stop this nonsense. There are plenty of Nvidia issues.

[–] Switorik@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

What nonsense? I've used nvidia since the early 2000s. There are no more issues than AMD right now.

as popular as diy and linux are on lemmy, pre-builts are still bought by more gamers; and those almost always include windows.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

See the Steam Machine could've been the perfect pre-built machine for casual gamers looking to dip their toes into PC gaming.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 4 points 5 hours ago

Some prebuilts allow you to skip the OS or the drive altogether and save money
