One of the biggest problems regarding Nvidia drivers is the fact that a small minority install them using Nvidia’s .run script, which overwrites important libraries, resulting in a wide range of issues. I’ve always installed Nvidia drivers using my distro’s package manager and I’ve never had an issue.

Linux user here running FF, no real dealbreaker issues at my end.

I use Mozilla every single day and have done so for about 6 years now. Personally I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything but ads if I don’t a Chromium based browser.

I’ve got plenty of old software here under Linux that still runs fine to this day across a number of PC’s and even a Raspberry Pi that I use as a backup desktop. I honestly can’t see backwards compatibility being any more of an issue than it is under Windows - There’s a number of accounting packages released under Windows 7 that won’t run under Windows 10, the latest version of most popular browsers won’t run under Windows 7. Likewise, the latest version of MS Office 365 won’t run under Windows 8.

My overview transition is seamless running X11.

RTX has worked under Linux both natively and via and Wine/Proton/DXVK/VKD3D for quite some time now.

Now all they need is a complete nvidia-settings application under Wayland that allows for coolbits to be set, and I may be able to use Wayland. For some reason, my RTX 2070S boosts far higher than the already overclocked from factory boost clocks, resulting in random crashing - I have to use GWE to limit boost clocks to OEM specs to prevent crashing.

Strangely enough, this was never a problem under Windows.

I don’t believe Nvidia were the one’s being lazy in this regard, they submitted the merge request for explicit sync quite some time ago now. Wayland devs essentially took their sweet time merging the code.

Fresh install, KDE Neon 6.0.0 user edition:

lol

They’re custom icons for Libre Office Write and Libre Office Calc. No MS Office here! Google Messages works perfectly as an official web app.

I find the opposite running KDE Neon. In fact File Explorer ‘lag’ is a widely expressed issue regarding Windows 11.

Find a new job before those new owners take over the business.

No, Windows comes preinstalled on most PC’s due to clever marketing. As stated, it’s more a case of people thinking Windows is the computer as opposed to any form of comfort regarding a fragmented touch/desktop UI making poor use of screen real estate.

I come across a number of Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa types that outright struggle with Windows; the device they feel comfortable with is the iPad.

Bulletdust ,

Which is also the case under Windows. As stated, no OS is immune to driver issues.

Bulletdust ,

The possibility does exist. I think the Adobe CC hasn’t been released under Linux for a similar reason, as Microsoft and Apple know that should Linux get the Adobe CC, people will flock to Linux.

A number of years back Adobe accidentally released a slide showing the Adobe CC running under Ubuntu, but strangely the product was never released on the platform.

Bulletdust ,

I never stopped using Firefox, and I never had a problem with anything but Government sites.

Bulletdust ,

I think it’s a Java thing?

Bulletdust ,

Been using FF since forever, never felt my experience was in any way slow compared to Chrome.

Fonts look fine here under FF:

Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS (www.phoronix.com)

According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2%...

Nvidia here under Linux, been running Nvidia hardware/drivers for about five years now with little in the way of problems. The latest hardware is supported on release, and my performance while gaming is fantastic.

Even Wayland support is maturing under Linux running Nvidia hardware/drivers, to the point whereby it’s mostly as usable as Wayland gets now.

At least you have the option of running the latest Nvidia hardware under Linux, it seems dedicated GPU support under MacOS is dwindling by the month.

Does EAC work correctly playing Apex Legends under Linux? If it does I’ll download the game tonight.

Bulletdust ,

I haven’t experienced an issue adding PPA’s in about four years. The package manager simply does what it’s meant to do and things just work.
