I have not regretted it at all, on my account I posted my first 24 hours with the card, and just general experience thus far. I enjoy the card, I like having the raw performance over having to utilize upscaling constantly, you may be disappointed in ray tracing performance? which makes sense nvidia made that so they would theoretically be the best but they don't care about making actually good hardware anymore nor do they care about gamers
Sounds like you've had a bad experience or something, I enjoy tinkering and running my games while maintaining my performance and privacy. I've had no issues, telling someone to get a console is a ridiculous statement nowadays there's no reason to. I also just realized what community I'm in so I'm going to assume you are responding this way because I chose endeavour instead of arch directly lol
I don't understand the points you are trying to make, like this started from you telling people not to swap because of a bad upgrade choice. I also now see you are one of the few that have been using Linux for so long you think anyone new to it shouldn't be here. You are part of the problem why Linux is so small in percentage. I never claimed it was good for gaming or that was my reason for switching. Nor did I ask anyone to hold my hand the whole way. I did my research and couldn't decide as I'm still new so I asked for advice. You feel so smart since you've been using Linux for 30 years. Yeah I game so I probably wouldn't if I couldn't play my games obviously what a solid argument lol. But your wasting your breathe on me. I'm a tech and privacy enthusiast I finally want to learn just like many other let us learn don't discourage us. If it makes you feel better while I use flatpaks I do think it is stupid that people are going for a windows experience on Linux, in that case just use windows.
There's a grain of truth in what OP is saying though. If you used any GPU Compute apps, the driver switch is going to be much more involved, as you have to migrate them all and probably get rocm working on your system. Honestly you need lots of manual fixes too.
If you don't, no worries about that.
