I just want proper HDR support in games. Since that’s most of what I use my laptop for these days, Windows it is.

Bazzite has HDR support out of the box. Steam deck interface, meaning it has a regular desktop as well. Pretty straightforward.

AutoHDR/SpecialK, AFMF, proper scaling on multiple monitors with mixed resolutions, Freesync

In time I’ll switch, but for me the extra gaming features on W11 are just nice.

But all of these things, except AutoHDR (coming soon tm) already exist on linux though… Scaling and Freesync, especially haven’t been an issue on linux for a while if you use the right desktop (KDE Plasma or GNOME on wayland)

Tarkov and Destiny 2 mainly.

Also I have a laptop I use from time to time running mint, few games installed. The games itself work okayish but the amount of times I need to “fix” some bullshit is annoying. Last things I remember were the touchpad being wonky and games having extreme tearing on HDMI, no matter if vsync was on or off.

I might try pop os some time but honestly my windows machine runs mostly without fault for years now (just cannot use any gpu drivers after march 24, but that’s on nvidia) and at the end of the day I just want to consoome without fiddling in settings every time.

Tryp BazziteOS next instead of Pop. It’s a Linux OS that’s designed for gaming and comes with all drivers, emulators, proton, etc out of the box. Also based on Fedora, which in my experience does better in the gaming department.

Thanks, I’ll save this comment and try it out when I switch

Auto HDR… I have one HDR monitor and one SDR monitor and w11 plays nicely, Nvidia app still won’t work with more than one monitor for their version of auto HDR

Because the time to learn a new operating system is more than I have to spare. I’m approaching middle aged, windows is familiar and I just want to kick back and enjoy my games.

Linux hasn’t reached drop-in replacement on the desktop yet. The steam deck is fantastic and I have no problems running it stock, but desktop Linux? Nah. Why would I dual boot when I can stick to one OS that does what I want and need.

(Side note: I run Linux on my server and am quite happy with it).
