It’s not fear, it’s laziness and just general fed-upness of dealing with computers and the overwhelming complexity of everything nowadays. There’s nothing fun or thrilling about computers anymore, it’s a black box to me now.
FreeBSD has been on a bit of a glowup arc too though, at least for general desktop use. No, but really, there needs to be a viable third option other than Windows and Linux in the desktop PC space.
Still waiting for nvidia to pull their heads out of their asses and fix gaming performance on their GPUs under Linux before I make the jump myself. And no, I don’t want an AMD GPU.
Nothing really wrong with them if they offer the performance and features you want. But I am a high end user and I also use some software that’s really reliant on CUDA. So they’re not really winning in either the performance or the features department for my personal use.
I’m just shocked Fedora is playing well with a quadro series card, and I’m not looking back. If there’s some bottleneck, it’s no larger than the one on my general experience with windows. Though I would very much like to be runnung a non-tainted kernel.
Yeah I understand that things have improved a lot. But it’s the 10-30% performance hit in DX12 games that keeps me from wanting to dive into Linux as my primary OS on my gaming machine. If they can get that closer to parity with Windows, I’m all-in on Linux for life.
I know it’s not terrible, but there is a performance disparity there that you can’t ignore. If someone is spending $1000+ on a high end GPU I think it is fair for them to expect a level of performance that’s a little better than “fine”.
Linux is the only viable solution to this mess. And no it is not as scary as it seema

I’m so glad that they’re clinging on! FreeBSD is great and they’ve made some serious moves these past years.
Does Lemmy have a “Stallman was right” community? Or is that just all of Lemmy.
i was thinking the same thing
Most of it, yes.

thanks :)
No problem, thanks too! :)
See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D

I use NVIDIA on Linux and nothing no issues or performance hits
What’s wrong with amd? In the market for a gpu right now

Nothing. The current generation card is slightly worse in rasterization performance while handily slapping my 7900 XTX in Ray tracing performance.

It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.
