    It’s because of shit like this that I’m glad I switched to Linux.

      I wish I could. My gaming rig has an nvidia gpu and linux support really sucks because of the proprietary driver situation…
      Steams new gamepad ui is a slideshow running at 5fps and I loose HDR so I have to remain on Windows for now. Every other desktop I own is UNIX tho.

        A few others have mentioned Pop_OS! for their Nvidia driver support which is what I’m running too. I think I’m on version 535.93 or something like that. Most of the Ubuntu downstream (Ubuntu, mint, pop_os, etc,.) already include The proprietary drivers in their repos. Pop_OS is known for Nvidia support being a bit quicker than the others.

        I’d suggest looking into dual booting (thats what I do, there are a few things that work better on windows). It’s super easy to set up, and it’s an easy low risk way to see if it works for you.

        My gaming rig has an Nvidia GPU as well, and it runs mostly without any problems (I’ve had to manually update drivers a couple of times) on POP!_OS

          Can you try to run the big picture/ gamepad UI and see if it lag? This my only real issue blocking me from switching back

        I use a gaming laptop with an Nvidia GPU and linux support does not ‘really suck.’

        The only downside I have is one you wouldn’t experience because you’re not using a laptop.
