      The pain of being dumb enough to buy a brand new gaming notebook with an nvidia gpu… But I’ll return as soon as possible. The pain of using win 11 is unbearable.

        It’s not like you can’t use Linux on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. It’s just that AMD works better (and isn’t as much of a PITA in how they treat regular Linux customers).

          Yes, I know. I used a notebook with a 950 before and it worked perfectly fine. But with this new one I get too many error messages for now under Linux, many games and other stuff that worked pefectly fine on Linux on my old 2016 model Notebook, didn’t work at all and the only thing I could find out is that this are some driver problems. I decided to wait a while and try again. No time for a neverending odysee of tinkering nowadays. I will try Kubuntu next month, hoping the newer Kernel will take care of my problems and if it works probably move to Linux Mint 23 later on.

          We still use Win 10 at work. I prefer any Debian based Distro, but the differences between 10 and 11…

            I beat Elden ring and doom eternal on Linux. Not sure what “top 3” are in your eyes, or what time we are talking about. Oh, I also beat cyberpunk 2077 on Linux too.

              Interesting site. That’s what I did mention by top 3: LoL, Fortnite, or Valorant are not supported due to anticheat. Those are the most played games.

                Interestingly those are all games where the devs themselves decided not to be compatible, LoL was even compatible earlier this year before they implemented their current anti cheat system

                Personally speaking client side anti cheats, particularly those that run at kernel level, are something you’d have to pay me a significant amount to install on my computer, but that’s me

            There are alternatives, depending on which Adobe software you usually use. For photos and vector I use Affinity, which works well via Wine… and there’s no subscription, either.

          As long as you don’t have tons of peripherals, don’t want to play Fortnite and don’t need 200 pieces of software, and if you have enough knowledge, yes, it can be the solution. It’s still difficult to do the swap for companies, or if you don’t have any skills related to computers.
