Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

Why is the 4070 an issue regarding linux? Nvidia drivers have come a long way since the beginning of the year, currently running modded cyberpunk on my 3070 Ti without issues.

    Wayland on Nvidia has a lot of issues was the big one for me. I ended up selling my Nvidia card and bought an AMD card instead.

    Nvidia on modern Linux (Wayland) is garbage and I'm buying AMD next time.

    Like seriously, people will try and tell you "oh you can install the proprietary driver easily now and they've come a long way"

    Sure, but it's still garbage. I can't even full screen a video in Firefox without a it crashing and a bunch of apps simply refuse to work without shitty environment variable hacks to drop back to software rendering

    I'm not a noob either, I've been using Linux as my primary OS since 2008

    I just tried fullscreen youtube and it worked flawlessly, and i had a lot more luck than you with different apps. we can at least agree that it isn't consistently stable depending on configuration, and i feel pretty lucky that my nobara installation is one of the happy ones.

    Performance is still noticeably worse. Based on some cursory research, the 4070 Super gets like ~20% less FPS on Bazzite compared to Windows on a 4070 Super and I tend to play high fidelity shooters on my desktop so frames per second matters.

    Fair point. Do you know if they where using the open source driver for thr graphics card? Or Nvidia's proprietary one? Because I'm on Fedora using the Nvidia driver and I dont notice that much of a fps drop. It is some, maybe 5-10%
