    After my adventures with getting Linux to play nice with Nvidia hardware, I just opt to say to not bother with Nvidia when it comes to Linux. They’re downright hostile towards free software and having a kernel update drop you into a TTY prompt because their build scripts are incompatible with the newer version for whatever reason is just inexcusable. I can navigate my way around in a pure CLI environment and fix it, but a lot of newbies cannot.

      I would say the same thing but it’s very hard to do gaming with the games I like without Nvidia :( If I have free time, I spend a lot of time gaming, be it by myself or with my friends. I look at my start menu and there’s so many games I couldn’t play on Linux.

      I just virtualize Win10 LTSC on Debian nowadays in the exceedingly rare cases that I need to use Windows specific software.

      I use WSL2, a shitty integrted linux virtual machine for windows. Much better than a normal VM, but much worse than raw Linux. But much better than Windows for development in general. Especially since I know a lot more bash than powershell.
