Thanks ! Had a check (I have a 4070ti desktop card and 3070ti mobile card) looks like I’m good and all supported. Going to finally make the switch tomorrow, wish me luck :)

Looks like nothing at all…. I know when I looked back a year or so ago people deterred me due to Nvidia drivers not being well supported.
Had a read up on Bazzite last night and it looks just the ticket ! :)
Thanks for the reply (and thanks to everyone that responded). Going to install on my desktop, laptop and handhelds as of tomorrow :)
Thanks for the reply and good to know !
The types of games I tend to play, I don’t think a slight performance hit will really matter. Definitely going to have a look into Bazzite this weekend ;)
Awesome, thanks for this…. Will 100% look into it this weekend ;)
Out of interest (I asked someone else the same question) how is the support for Nvidia drivers? Other than my handhelds all my systems are team green and it’s what has always deterred me from switching to Linux on them as from what I gather support is flaky on most distros.
Thanks for this!
Out of interest, how is the driver support for Nvidia cards? This is the thing that has always put me off bailing on Windows for games.
I genuinely can’t wait for the day I can finally drop Windows altogether and boot directly in to steam os on my gaming pc’s / laptops and handhelds.
Windows becomes more of a bloated mess every update. Literally the only thing I use it for these days is launch games.
Bring it on Steam !
I’m a huge Metroid (Metroidvania in general fan, it’s pretty much the only genre I play these days) but for some reason Dread didn’t hit the spot for me. I got right to the very last boss fight but can’t say I enjoyed my time with it. The EMMI I found more infuriating than fun and it just felt like those sections killed my favourite part of these types of games which is wandering and exploring. I know you could go back after, but tanking it through areas to get to safety I found frustrating.
However, the movement is goddamn slick in Dread! Don’t think I have played another Metroidvania where it feels that good to traverse and move around the map. Prince of Persia comes close, but fully geared Samus in Dread is just an absolute joy :)
Awesome thank you… Did a little digging and I think I’m good. I have a 4070ti desktop card and 3070ti mobile both seem to be solid.
I have actually used mint previously. I use Linux a lot but not as an os per se. I’m a developer for a living and the bulk of disks I spin up are Linux based. Different use case but hopefully some of that knowledge will transfer :)
