Boots up gaming PC

Windows: "YOU IN DANGER ZONE! NEED WINDOWS 11! BUY NEW PC U SCRUB!!!111"

Load up Steam

Steam: "Hey, I see MS are being assholes - click here to install SteamOS instead"

Reboot PC

Millions of people never run windows again

I'm dreaming but that would be amazing. That would make this the year of the Linux desktop. C'mon GabeN, make it happen!

If Linux had better nvidia support I would swap in a heart beat.

I have been running OpenSUSE with nVidia for 7 years. No issues here.

AMD's RT performance is getting quite close to Nvidia. Each generation gets them closer and closer.

CUDA will always be proprietary but there's a ton of resources being put against alternative solutions.

Using Pop for almost 2 years on nvidia laptop and pc, no problem, whats the issue?

...Ok no problem is a lie, but it wasn't GPU related problems..

I had issues with my specific hardware combo of i9 14900k and 4090 and multi display issues that windows doesn’t seem to have. Though that could just be my ignorance.

Amd cpu and 4070ti super here without issues. I suspect intel being the usual dumpster fire.

I had an issue with 2 4k screens through my dock, but that was apparently my docks fault.
