I really don't understand where this hostility towards Linux comes from. It's like people WANT to hate it.

Linux supports NVIDIA GPUs just fine. You can either use the open source drivers or one click install the NVIDIA drivers from the GUI software center.

I recently bought a pre-built gaming PC with an NVIDIA GPU.

  1. Install Fedora from USB
  2. Install proprietary drivers from Software Center (GUI)
  3. Install Steam from software center
  4. Install a windows only game (Proton is configured automatically)
  5. Play game

Notice that none of these steps involved any googling or frustration.

You don't need local computer stores if you get stuck. Just find a forum or chat room with a bunch of nerds and ask for help.

Sure some Linux users are elitists but most of us are just trying to build a better world out here.

Some games won't play on linux and are bannable if you manage. R6 and destiny for example. nvid5070 doesn't work flawlessly and will crash at load. You have to do extra config. More complex than basic usability.

Lots of details you're skipping over there and spreading misinformation, Elitist. This is exactly what pisses me off with you linux fanbois

0.0000001% of games don't run because their integrated malware isn't compatible

Specific graphics card doesn't run flawlessly (yet)

I guess that makes it misinformation to say that Linux just works in general?

This is such a wild take haha. If you don't want to use Linux that's fine but pointing out weird edge cases doesn't disprove what I said.

I use Linux. And ‘weird’ is much of the market who use computers are gamers. Possibly the biggest market of computer users. As well as media suites. Both of which are heavily overlooked on usability for the compatibility with fast evolving computer builds right now involving AI fittings. Don’t believe me? Why do you think the nvidia stock is a larger topic of discussion right now than it once was?

Get with the times, grandparent.

This is why I’m able to point every bit of what you’re saying is misinformation. You gatekeeping fanbois are absolute cringe.
