I’ve been experimenting recently and while most games run fine and VRR & HDR & Multimonitor somewhat work after some experimenting & tweaks I still have problems with a few games.
Some recent examples would be Noita stuttering and running in slow motion. Getting anything from Ubisoft running (when it does run it runs great though). And modding is very hit & miss.
If Dual Boot with windows (especially if running Bitlocker) wasn’t such a PITA I would likely use Linux as my main OS.
You can do the same on Windows (mount ssh shares), there is an Fuse like project for Windows: WinFsp.
Agreed. And then there is the combo of the most recent NVIDIA driver and Debian Kernel that doesn’t work together. First time I actually had to downgrade a Kernel update though.
But I guess this could happen with every driver
“Allows” You have to add/change a registry key, so it’s not like this is an option Microsoft wants normal users to have.
Really? It hasn’t been reset for me once, I wonder why I’m not affected.
You could just make a backup of the registry key and install it again in a few clicks .
I wish, but multiple Laptops with unavailable drivers, barely working trackpads, sleep issues and a few other annoyances tell me it isn’t always as easy.
I haven’t found many systems that Windows doesn’t run
I disabled that realy quickly… If I wanted to search the Web I would use a browser. I can only recomment that, it speeds up search a lot and it now actualy works as one would expect
Thing is you can have a single page app that still works with middle click, depending on the framework it’s mostly automatic or some config for the router.
At least that’s what I can say from my experience building a single page app, but considering I’m using new tabs extensively I did have some bias to make it work.
I have a lot of experience with Windows and some with Linux.
The driver problems with Laptops are not only on Linux, though it is a lot more common, depending on the manufacturer Windows also has a ton of problems if you don’t want to use the 8 year old pre-installed driver that was never updated.
And Linux is held back by (proprietary) software availability as well. Most of the time it would be Microsoft Office (a lot of people I know complain about alternatives like Google Docs or Libre Office not being up to par by a long shot). Another big thing is Games. Sure, most of them work quite well out of the box, but if they do not it would be beyond most of my friend groups skills to fix it. Not to mention the massive library of competitive games that some people play exclusively that just don’t work at all.
