1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache

    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

    I just tried using Linux as my main Gaming OS desktop probably about a month and half ago after using it for college for 5 years.

    I love Linux but for NVIDIA drivers and gaming it still very much isn't there.

    I use an NVIDIA card, running bazzite on my gaming setup, and it works really well. What issues where you having?

    [–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

    Just now seeing your comment. I was using Nobara my monitors just freeze as in become completely unresponsive and it was entirely random. And there was a keyboard combo that was designed to fix it and that didn't work then the community's answer was, "we don't know."

    To me the Linux systems are great but the community acts as if people shouldnjust switch without a second thought then get rally together when someone says, "I am having issues and don't understand." The Linux community then almost always proceeds to say, "did you try Googling it?" What would the person even know to Google if they don't even know entirely what they are facing and when Linux issues get involved you are deep diving into Terminal and bash commands and most people barely understand how a Driver in Windows works or how to uninstall it. Then the response from the sake community is, "well clearly your the issue." Its just odd to sell something the community won't really assist with but then get offended when someone doesn't want to switch.

    Are you using Proton? Also, what games do you usually play?

    [–] rolling@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

    Maybe try a distro that is known for compability with NVIDIA such as popOS or bazzite. I have used both for the last 4 years, and other then some specific games where anti-cheat or kernel level anti cheat is an issue (and honestly, fuck those games anyway because those developers spend extra effort to make sure their games dont run on Linux), the rest just works flawlessly.

    Nobara's got you covered.

    [–] Prethoryn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Funny enough, that is what I was using my friend.

    [–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

    You used the driver manager to handle Nvidia drivers?
