      What’s your hardware and distro ? I have an Nvidia card and am considering a switch next year

        Welp, that was a plot twist. But, I use a Ryzen 3600 with a GTX 1660, nvidia-open driver on arch, wayland tested with gnome, kde and hyprland, had 0 issues as far as I can tell.

        Ok 1 issue, but afaik this is wayland not wayland + nvidia - couldn’t get stanley parable to work.

          Do you have it on Steam? It should work if you use the Windows version on proton instead of the native Linux version.

            I refunded it already, none of the proton versions launched at all for some reason, the native version I got to launch but it was frozen. From what I found googling it was a wayland problem, but I was on hyprland at the time and I was not going to go through the hassle of getting an X session just to get a game running, so I just refunded it citing problems starting the game on linux.

            I did not go through detailed troubleshooting, I am over trying to finnick and fiddle to get games to run, if your stuff does not work OOTB or reasonably close to it, you are not getting my money. Most games do, I will rather leave my cash and my time playing something that works than troubleshooting and getting something that doesnt to do so. That goes double for something that is supposed to run native on Linux.

            That the point Nvidia drivers are not grate on Linux I got AMD card specifically for this reason! Had an GTX 1070 before and I had quite a lot of issues with drivers now I have none!

            Stop using NVIDIA on linux. They don’t respect our ecosystem so we should not be respecting them with our patronage.

                Linux desktop works fine as long as you have 10 years experience, buy all new hardware, and dig deep on sketchy looking forums to download random drivers to work!

                  the we bit clearly implies you don’t think anyone should use nvidia gpus on linux but they have over 85% of the market share according to steam hardware surveys so clearly that’s a problem with linux if it doesn’t work well with nvidia gpus yeah nvidia should be less awful but people say linux “just works” now and yeah sometimes it does and currently even on nvidia it does if you’re using xorg works fine for me on cinnamon mint other than the fact I had to figure out how to upgrade the kernel which wasn’t super obvious how cause my bluetooth didn’t work cause my motherboard was too new but you can’t just stick your head in the sand when certain hardware has issues especially popular hardware there’s a reason nvidia gpus are so popular as terrible a company as they are and as overpriced as their gpus are amd is constantly behind every new feature they announce on their gpus is just a worse implementation of what nvidias had for a year or 2 I wish amd was good I hate nvidia but if you wanna play the latest games with the best graphics amd is just no good unfortunately

                    It works but the performance is worst compare to Nvida on windows, I was loosing 10 to 20 fps not to mention that it had some issues with v-sync. I literally was having screen tearing on a 144hz monitor that had g-sync. That’s why I chose to get an AMD gpu when I upgrade I also got a 240hz monitor with freesync and now I actually see either better performance compare to windows or the same!

              I needed a GPU back in 2020, and attempted to go AMD. I found the opportunity to get a 3080 at msrp. I’m not going to shitcan my GPU and then spend another thousand for an absurdly overpriced AMD card. Many of us don’t have a good viable option to switch.

              what does “they don’t respect our ecosystem” mean? nvidia devs put more manpower, more hours, and more lines of code into linux than amd ever has or ever will. the drivers are closed source, who cares, I’m not rms and you aren’t either. I challenge you to find anyone doing real work on real computers with an AMD card. not gaming, not home desktops, not all this hobbyist shit. I’m talking chips pegged at 400w for days or weeks at a time work. machine learning, scientific computing type work. they’re all running posix systems with nvidia cards in them.

              if you want a seamless desktop experience on linux, go intel. if you want video games, go amd. if you want real work go nvidia. stop sucking your favorite evil megacorp’s dick and you’ll learn real quick that there’s a right tool for the job.

              Just waste money on an AMD card so you can brag about how it’s 3% faster than Windows AMD cards!

              Meanwhile Nvidia is 10-20% faster on slow dum dum winblows. Peak Linux zealotry.

                Well that’s the problem I was getting 10-20% lower performance on Linux with an Nvidia GPU not to mention g-sync did not work and I was getting screen tearing and bad frame times with Nvidia. That’s why I chose to switch to AMD when I upgraded. Low and behold no such issues anymore.
