Hello there 1- It really depends on your build, distro and drivers being used. Some benchmarks show Ray tracing causes performance drop compared to Windows.

2- There are mod managers here and there but, honestly I don't mod so I don't know anything about it.

3- If a program doesn't have Linux version, there might be Linux alternative. Those alternatives sometimes might not be on par with their counterparts though. Adobe products are one bit example.

4- Applications developed with .NET may be built on Linux through Mono framework, as long as they are developed as portable. For native Windows programs, there is a compatibility layer named WINE, but it won't guarantee that every program will work. It may support games as well, but for games Proton is more preferred. Proton is Valve's official tool anyway.

5- Distributions' package managers will manage updates, either application updates or system updates. Most distros will also notify users about updates, however installing them is up to user's decision. Universal package managers like Flatpak are responsible their own updates.

6- Linux is way more secure than Windows for being what it is. Being an open source does not inherently mean that it's secure. But open source softwares are generally peer reviewed by public and they are often recommended fixes thus if there is any vulnerability, it's fixed more quickly. Antiviruses are not needed, not because there is not Linux viruses though. There is ClamAV anti-virus, also there are proprietary AV applications, if you still need. AV's are mostly ineffective in today's technology.

7- AMD drivers, for example way more reliable than their Windows ones. Nvidia also made a lot of progress in recent years, so yes. There might be still some issues, lack of features.

8- No, it cannot.

9- For a beginner, Linux Mint is and always has been best choice for start, in my opinion.

Not everyone has enough knowledge to differentiate fake posts from real posts. Some people come here to learn new things, some others come to ask questions, to learn troubleshooting. You make one claim and refuse elaborate further. Instead, you insult people who ask for explanation. Understood, you are a genius which can see things and everybody else is pathetic losers.

"It's fake because I say so" is anything but a valid argument. This comment is no better than those fake posts you are mentioning.

Unfortunately Linux has tons of them nowadays. Google, Amazon, Microsoft are three of them that I know. And not just in kernel, but they also contribute in other projects in the ecosystem.

I remember this because Bill Gates was literally the richest person at the time but lost his position due to lawsuits like this.

I know. I am a Linux enthusiast myself. After Sadya got in the position, Microsoft suddenly became to get interested in Linux, contributing to projects and even funding them. But to this day, I still do not trust them.

My memory might be weak on this topic but Microsoft has already went through a lawsuit due to not allowing people to use other browsers. And that case made Bill Gates lose money.

OK my bad. It wasn't Steam statistics, but another statistics for overall Linux desktop usageon statcounter

 

Hello everyone. I have a system with Ryzen 9 7950x, 32GB 6400 mhz DDR5 ram, 1 TB primary SSD where Windows 11 and Linux installed and Gainward RTX 4080 graphics card and Asus Prime X670-P Wifi mobo. I also have 1 TB SSD and 2 TB HDD's mounted. 2-3 months ago, I started to get crashes on my both OS'es. And in time, they got frequent. I bought a brand new SSD for OS installation, after a while it started again. I cannot get any error message on Windows, since BSOD screen just stays for 2-3 seconds and system restarts. After restart, I sometimes get "no Bootable device found" error on boot stage. When the crash happens on Linux, dmesg outputs show something like whole SSD disconnected. It shows I/O messages for root partition as well. I changed primary SSD 1 month ago, errors still persist. Sent mobo to the service, no issues were found. BIOS also updated and reset. When I run PC on live Linux media, I get no issues however. What can I do else? What can cause this issue? Thanks in advance.
