I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it’s like this is the way everything was always meant to be.
HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.
I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).
No ragrets.
No regerts.
Team red 4lyfe (again).
Damn I’m a tech illiterate person but got a 6600xt with a ryzen 5. Should I also be running Linux? The only thing I know about it is I can’t play some games which kind of makes me hesitant.
Look up the games you have or the games you’re worried about on Proton DB:

Then you can see whether you will lose anything with the switch.
This was actually really helpful, of course there’s no way of knowing if games releasing in the future will work or not, but it does seem like a lot of my games will work with the exception of Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 is a funny one because there actually was a Linux version that worked fine, and it was (and maybe still is) what Stadia and all those other remote gaming platforms were running. The system just bans you if you use Linux and aren’t any one of those corporations. Which isn’t to say that it technically works on Linux, but that all these greedy companies are making our lives more miserable just to extract every last penny, while gaslighting us in the process.
Most of the games you lose access are not worth imo. LoL, fortnite, valorant. I do miss Apex
You’re not wrong. I’ve just heard it’s any game that uses battle eye. I know Destiny 2 and marathon don’t work for that reason. Not that im playing marathon lol
I tried to play Marathon and realized it doesn’t support so refunded lol. There are so many fun games nowadays if they dont want my money, ok.
Yes, you should.

What version would you recommend? I only know about proton which seems to be best for running most games. I know I’ve read where winds meet runs on proton
