Is it a newer Nvidia GPU? If so I believe it pretty much works the same these days. It was mostly the older Nvidia GPUs that seemed to have a lot of problems.

Yeah, it's a 40 series GPU, so pretty new. That's encouraging. Maybe I will try dual booting first.

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Yeah that should be completely fine then. Try dual boot, if you don't have any issues you can always go 100% Linux at some point in the future and in the meantime the old Windows partition can provide some amount of reassurance if something does go wrong.

With an Nvidia GPU, I would recommend Nobara over Bazzite becomes it comes with the various drivers.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I think Bazzite has a "ujust" recipe to install Nvidia drivers. Could be wrong though.
