Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card? (lemmy.cafe)

Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.

Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.

How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.

I had a 3070 and now I upgraded to a 4070 ti super and havent had issues with either. Maybe I got lucky but I never understood all the negative views on nvidia and Linux.
