Anyone know if CP2077 runs better on Linux than Windows?

By much? With HDR?

Sorry for the drive by comment, but this is like the one game my 3090 can’t quite handle to my satisfaction. I've thoroughly disabled the thing from rendering in Linux and don’t want to undo all that… But if I could get like another 10% over Windows, that would be incredible. Even 5% would be awesome.

Nvidia and Linux don't have the best history. Their driver are not open source, so Valve developers have no means to improve performance and fix bugs on a driver level.

Success stories of Linux gaming are usually about Radeon and Arc GPUs whose drivers are fully open source.

Anyone have good experiences with the NVIDIA 50 series on Linux? I've tried a bunch different flavors over the years and I'm fairly distro agnostic as long as it doesn't get too esoteric.

Also weird question does anyone know if Single Player Tarkov with Project Fika works on Linux? I think it should

What’s the best Linux distro to play games? Im currently on Ubuntu 22.04 and won’t leave it as my main but I have a AMD TR 1950 with a GTX 1080 TI will to play some final fantasy.

I left Debian for Arch recently and let me tell you, you immediately feel the difference with running the latest drivers for your machine. The bleeding edge drivers have upped my frames per second significantly in videos games compared to sticking with stable releases on Debian (and Ubuntu).

With the built-in archinstall script making Arch so easy to get going, I’d only reach for anything else if I really needed the stability.

Beware some issues if your hardware isnt popular, I have freezing on all kernels past 6.136-2, so I'm stuck there. (test them all every update, no matter what I get hella random freezing requiring a power button restart) It is very stable and fast tho, kinda scary thinking the bug never gets fixed tho, still new to Linux and assuming it's bad to not update the kernel longgerm.

I had that issue last time I switched to Linux. Thankfully eventually it went away. It should help to distro hop to a more bleeding edge distro. Fedora specifically gets system updates every night through Discover.

I'm doing my part! Moving to a new country in a few days, part of the prep for that was to ditch my Windows desktop and I've been setting up a Linux laptop. Arch with KDE Plasma is so far the most enjoyable experience I've had with an OS

I've tried at various times to switch to Linux in the past. I'm enough of a turbo nerd you'd think it would have been easy for me but it was never quite there for one reason or another. This latest attempt though hot damn it's all smooth sailing. I've even converted one of my friends to Mint and making progress convincing people who don't want to use Windows 11 to just make the switch

Honestly, I kinda suspect the tariffs are speeding this up. I recently upgraded my desktop due to the suspicion that prices are gonna go bonkers shortly and since I was basically rebuilding it anyway, I went ahead and switched my last windows PC to Linux. Been a lot smoother than I had suspected, highly recommended.
