sharing is caring 🥺

probably the difference betweem a laptop and desktop gpu

Honestly sad that this is at the bottom of this thread with all the linux glazers listed above. And every comment is massively up/downvoted depending on whether it is in support of Linux or not, regardless of the quality of the arguments.

To be fair, I’m a Linux user myself but I really cannot stand these obnoxious people who think that Linux is a full-on Windows replacement for everyone and anyone who doesn’t immediately install Linux is an ignorant fool. I like tinkering with my system, but I wouldn’t berate anyone who doesn’t. I care about my privacy, it’s not my business whether you care enough to switch your habits and devote your free time towards Linux.

I’d say on AMD systems it’s pretty viable, but NVIDIA is still not there. On my gaming laptop I lose 30-50% of FPS in GPU-heavy scenes compared to Windows.

Though I’d recommend to use tiny11 or atlasos when staying on windows to remove some of the slop

funny how this is downvoted so much even though it’s the sad truth

i have both a gaming laptop with nvidia gpu and a steam deck, and the steam deck manages to outperform the laptop with linux even though the laptop is orders of magnitude more powerful (on windows it easily beats the steam deck).

so yes, amd is a lot more optimized for linux than nvidia and i know many people who wouldn’t surrender half of their fps for some privacy/freedom.

The fact that they included the 1st step but forgot the temparature…

Or Invidious when you can’t/don’t want to install an additional app

This is why we need “yes means yes”

I personally use dnsforge.de which is essentially a public Pi Hole with additional configuration choices for strict or porn/gambling blocking. While this one is specifically german, I think there are probably other such services or you could always host your own. (I know you said “major service” but it’s about the concept)

so what gives you the right to get all the food instead of the starving people?

Sadly, Linux currently just isn’t a one-to-one replacement for Windows, which is enough of a reason for most people to stay. (I say this as a Linux user myself)

A great alternative is to create a Matrix account and connect a WhatsApp bridge bot with the WhatsApp account, that way you can use any lightweight Matrix client. (It also works cross-platform)

One thing we can do is hope that some apps (e.g. Discord, Spotify and Bitwarden) stop using Electron and starting up a fucking browser for each window

Personally I’ve used FL with Bottles on Fedora with terra-wine-staging package and everything except webviews (FL cloud which I don’t use anyway) works perfecly (and cpu usage is higher than on windows)
