I’m not foss at my core OS level unfortunately because of nvidia hardware and my brother insisting “Windows 11 is fine dude! Stick with Windows!”, its funny hes got a AMD card…
I have a Windows 11 gaming 4070 SUPER Desktop as well as an elderly Windows 10 TV “Console” 2070 desktop. I have both LCD & OLED Steam Decks and some “revived from Windows bloat” linux laptops.
I am tempted to convert the “console” to Bazzite once I get the time to set that up but its my old gaming PC and I know they’re old irreplaceable files I want to scoop up before I wipe it and install that.
That all said, on my windows machines I use foss whenever available.
i cant understand what even goes on in the heads of people who insist on windows and refuse to even think of any alternatives. But then again, i can’t understand what goes on in most peoples heads anyway. Its pretty lonely world.
What’s the nVidia issue? I have a 3070ti that I have been daily driving in my gaming desktop that only runs Linux since I built it. It’s never been an issue.
I get this response every time, there is a measurable decrease in performance benchmarks. For the 2070 its only like 10% or something around that because its an older card (thus why I’m at least considering swapping that one to Bazzite), but newer nvidia cards (4000 & 5000 series) lose like 30-40% because nvidia’s driver support is not great for Linux.
Ah, that makes sense. I’ve never done any benchmarking and don’t have windows to compare it with. For me, it’s fast enough because I tend towards non-competitive patient gamer games.

Hes tried Linux and he hated it, he even used to be in IT. IDK why he disliked it.
