Dislike button is removed from Youtube... Time to make some waves! These 5 things are reasons NOT to use Linux. Support My Work------------------------------...
Do you agree? If not, what’s your counter arguments?
If you have an old nvidia card, you’re going to have issues with some games. BF4 for example, no matter what you do you will have lag and stutter
There’s wayland and lack of support for nvidia cards, and major distros and GUI’s dropping x11 in favour of wayland (regardless of whose fault it is or if it’s good or bad in grand scheme of things, whoever has an nvidia GPU is going to be forced to use other distros or windows)
And then the whole proton and wine stuff… I just installed CoD 2 and had to fetch some commands in order for it to run, else it crashed after playing the first cut scene. And then there are other games, like Divinity dragon commander, that I couldn’t figure how to get it to run. Tried several proton versions, none of them launched the game. My fault or ignorance? Perhaps, but on windows it would run first try.
I ran a GTX 550ti and everything ran very well for the most part (card was pretty old so prefomance on new games was bad)
gnome is the only one fully dropping x11 as far as I know
Nvidia cards do work on linux, sure they may be a bit more configuring to do compared to a AMD card if it is new, bit it still works.
Lutris? GOG? Steam? Is using the command line really a nuisance for you?
The fact that you did not figure out how to run something, does not mean that it does not run on Linux
Ofc Windows would run it first try, the game is made for it, not like Limix which needs to use Wine and gain more performance in some games even tho its not running on its native platform (Windows).
2- as a consequence, popular distros like Ubuntu and Fedora too. I expect other GUI’s and therefore distros to follow
3- Didn’t mean to imply they don’t, what I meant is that they have issues and will make users jump to other ships.
4, 5 and 6, Lutris and later Steam itself when I was running out of ideas, and yes it does run on Linux as long you can figure out the correct proton/wine version or buy the game from Steam. Point here was that gaming on Linux can be convenient or very annoying, depending on the games you want to play. YMMV
Gnome and Fedora the literal worst desktop and a perpetually broken distro that is a minority of a minority are even talking about actually dropping support for X11. As much as they might hate it X11 will be an option for the next decade
tl;dw: “If it does not deliver the exact same experience as Windows = don’t bother.”
Yeah…no.
t. Have 0 issues with the mentioned “issues” in the video. I use arch btw. :^)
YMMV
