Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can’t fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

    This is disingenuous, if you had an AMD GPU on Linux and switched to an Nvidia card you would be using the nouveau drivers so you would need to install the proprietary drivers to get the best performance.

    And lots of the same issues that are listed on the windows side could happen on Linux as well since they relate to connectivity.

      sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

      Seriously though, this is still the same problem on windows. If you switch from AMD to Nvidia, it’ll load a generic display driver until you install the Nvidia one either through windows updates (heavily outdated) or GeForce Now (heavy bloat).

      At least Linux gives you Nouveau instead of throwing you into a 480p fallback output.
