    It was VR and davinci

    Then I found out arch runs davinci flawlessly.

    Now I have arch Linux and "VR mode" (windows)

    Using Windows to play CoD is like being in a polyamorous relationship, where everyone just loves to abuse you

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

    I feel attacked lol my reason was literally COD. That and I haven't had the capacity to dive into running Linux yet...

    Does linux still have problems with Nvidia graphics cards?

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Nvidia just released a new driver for Linux, which fixes a lot of the issues with wayland. There are still a few issues left, but it's very much useable now!

    Yes, but Nvidia finally open sourced their driver so hopefully that'll change soon

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Nvidia open sourced the firmware. Not the driver. We can hope

    TBH Windows is like the only operating system you should NOT play Valorant on. It's pretty easy to bypass the rootkit and run it on virtual system.

    Is Vanguard really hacked already? That would be so funny.

    I kind of like having Linux on a VM in Windows. I only use Linux for things like web browsing or writing papers which a VM can do. For gaming, I prefer Windows to avoid any problems I might encounter (like anticheats).

    This gives me a near-ideal set up with access to both Linux and Windows. I just wish my Linux VM can do 120+hz and GPU passthrough.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Did you consider dual booting?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah but I think Linux VM is more convenient for me as I don't have to switch back and forth between operating systems. I can have both operating systems in front of me at once.

    I can keep the VM running while playing games with my friends on the Windows host.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

    You should consider the wsl hypervisor then

    For work. And that's only until I can get my workflow converted fully

    [–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    On a more serious note as a windows user it just does a good enough job that I don't want to put in any effort for something better.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

    Same but the moment windows 10 shits the bed I may be looking at more serious alternate offerings.

    HDR and VR, that's it. And everything that isn't gaming happens on my Framework laptop running NixOS anyways.

    I haven't left because W11 IoT LTSC exists. No AI, no store, options to disable all the telemetry, no bloat. It's what a Windows system should be and is pleasant to use. Also Tidal music doesn't have a viable Linux option 😢. Oh and Quest 2 PCVR streaming.

    I also have a Bazzite install I hop on pretty frequently, and it's getting rather close to me switching which one is my daily driver OS. And leaving a Windows Install for Battlefield. Valorant, and VR.

    Edit: Also, it would be a huge shame for someone to waste their time looking for the IoT LTSC .iso on a website massgravedotdev.

    Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 23H2? Or the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 Preview?

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

    I just checked, I only see an option for W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024.

    Build 26100.1

    I hope fusion 360 gets a Linux version

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

    This looks interesting

    https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

    I haven't tried it, but I think I will.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

    I will hope I can decipher FreeCAD's interface instead.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    The problem is I'm addicted to Fusion's generative design topology optimization. I haven't seen anything else like it on the market, much less open source. It's shapes are so cool and material efficient for 3d printing.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

    Luckily I am not smart enough to know how to use the more powerful tools in Fusion, so I can still escape and not know any better

    I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.

    Plus I've gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

    "Time to upgrade!"

    "Ok..."
