I bet they seen where people were switching to Linux. “Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) were supposed to end in October, but Microsoft now says the program will end on Oct. 12, 2027.”

    If only nVidia would do what AMD did and have open source kernel drivers, but no, the drivers you need are in a closed source package… same for shame Intel closing their drivers too… it’s like we’re back in the fwcutter days again.

      Surprising enough the video drivers was pretty painless. So many people before me already solved the issues. I was able to get 240fps on my monitor when previous attempts have failed.

      The main issue was the motherboard. It’s too “new” and I ended up having to build a bunch of drivers to just get my computer to work exactly what Windows provided out the box.

      There is so much hate for Windows, but you can’t beat their commitment to stability and backwards compatibility.

      Linux has an uphill battle. With how poorly Wayland is performing and the x11 crew not embracing it and how stable Apple and Windows OS is. Linux is not ready. This is coming from a developer POV.
