    I love Linux, but damn unless you use Amd video cards. It’s a hard sell, especially if you’re a gamer. Not to mention, how often games break because they’re designed for windows. So dual boot is reasonable, in my opinion.

      Why? I have an nvidia card and haven’t noticed any major issues. It hasn’t even bricked the system on a driver update in years now.

        I wasn’t talking about bricked systems, just the games themselves have issues and glitches. Especially with Nvidia. Not all games mind you. Plus the performance tax on Nvidia with Linux.

          When running the games through Proton I never had issues because of Nvidia.

          I have issues because of Nvidia, but none are related to gaming.

          If you have the newest propertary drivers it should work just fine.

      It used to be much, much worse. While some people still struggle a little with Nvidia on Linux, it seems perfectly usable in most distros and games by now.

        I agree it has improved, but I still have enough issues to where for me anyways. To justify dual boot, that is until I get an AMD video card. Believe me if I didint have to constantly find Nvidia workarounds, for performance and bugs. I would be on Linux 100 percent of the time.
