I wish. NVIDIA is still a buggy mess for me, and it seems that I am the only person with these issues, I see people praising NVIDIA on Wayland all the time now.
And VR is still bad on Linux.
I still love Linux, but I can't use it for now. God i miss NixOS );
Last round of nvidia drivers made a mess, nix has a wiki on the issues on how to fix them until they are resolved.
I said good riddance to Nvidia forever. My amd card is better anyhow and has never had an issue on Linux
@Sunshine Agree! Left Windows decades ago. Except for some ocassional office compability snafus and still poor gaming, it does everything I need and well.
Still poor gaming? I have all of my games working with zero effort on Steam. The only exception are my sim racing peripherals.
Technologies like Electron make it easier for app availability: Controversial opinion but True
I do agree, but currently Electron is great for apps the way Flash was considered great for the web. It solves one problem, but creates a bunch more.
In itself, Electron is pretty bloated*, but I don't dare check how many versions I have installed because different apps have stuck with older ones. I'd really like to see a less resource consuming, backward compatible alternative to Electron.
* From my thrifty perspective of keeping older hardware alive with Linux, that is. On your high grade, best-of-class gaming rig, mileage will definitely vary.
It's quite a storage hog having multiple 500+ MB electron blobs. Unfortunately that's a platform agnostic issue now.
