Good news for those with Nvidia still on the fence about Linux

[Flummi]

Hi folks,

since about 8 years I am running Linux as my main OS. Over the time I tried several distros. Here I can state that Linux made an impressive development over time! Parallel there is Windows in multiboot only for use of Windows-exclusive games like DCS in combination with VR. For every other game I am running Linux. No probs here with it!

 

After all I would recommend anyone to try Linux. Its easier to use as many would guess.

 

Greetings,

Flummi

Unless you're on the home edition, there's no such thing as "non-disableable". Including the telemetry that's not obvious how to disable. You need to delve quite deeply into features intended mostly for corporate users, but it's there (in case of telemetry, you can redirect it into the void). Even the TPM requirement for Windows 11 can be killed by a switch in the registry. Sure, not a convenient button in the settings, but it's there.

Or, you could go with Linux, where every customization is about this inconvenient.

I installed Linux (Pop OS) on my PC last week. On a seperate SSD with W10 in dualboot. I tried Linux in the past, but felt, most of my programms did not work on Linux.

This time I was surprised, that things work much better. It was a breeze to import my email-settings and even my niche-flightlog-programme has a Linux-version. Since I can access all my 'old' files, there is lacking little for me right now.

In Steam I tested only one game up to now, but that did work perfectly.

Installing Battle.net was more complicated and getting Diablo2 running even more. But now its running ok. Took quite a bit of reading and researching.

Anyway, from what Im usually doing on my PC under Win10, except for DCS, right now there seem to be no compromises.

Regarding DCS Im hesitant to do the switch or even give it a try. I read already quite a bit and Id be willing to give up VR, but since since TrackIR is not supported, it does not make sense right now. Also I dont have the skills to troubleshoot after every update. More learning is definitly needed in that regard.

I hope once Vulkan finally arrives at DCS, the transition will be easier.

My experience right now is too brief to make a conclusion, but as for my everyday use, except DCS, right now I see no reason to use Win10 for that.

Unless the cost of porting to Linux was zero it would never be worthwhile for any dev to spent money to get an extra 2-3% of the market. Simple math. Gamers won’t use Linux because there aren’t enough games and devs won’t use Linux because there aren’t enough customers.

You are clearly not a gamer on linux so why even say this?

If you were a user of linux, you would clearly know that your statement is completely false. My guess is you are a windows user and are perpetuating the mis-information you heard about linux and are treating these myths as fact. When in fact, you can game on Linux with very little headache involved. I doubt you even have a machine or drive that can run linux.

I've used windows since the MSDOS days and 10 is my last. I hold IT certs on the widows platform and can very comfortably move around inside it, fix it and do things. I decided to leave windows last Nov so i have nearly a year of part time linux use. During that time i've used linux more and more to the point that i have now spent pretty much all time since the demise of 10, inside of linux.

I was in windows for 3 min yesterday to finally transfer over my discord so i can ask questions inside the discord server for my distro, instead of switching OS's. I use Nobara. Which is Fedora based.

The facts are these:

Gaming on Linux is very much alive. We are playing games that are not native to linux to be exact. And then there are the native linux games that also just work.

I played %98 of my steam games just using steam and their proton campat layer. So these are not 4 bit, 16 color, CGA indie games. I played hogwarts legacy today with every single option turned up, including FSR 3. I have an AMD card. 9060XT 16GB. I am on 1080p, as are most gamers, still, and i was @ 60 FPS (monitor limit) @ 32 celcius @ 500 RPM fan.

Others with more technical, knowledge than this one year linux user, can get DCS to work in Linux and even use VR with gloves attached. They use Arch. Yeah, cool eh? And with nearly %100 certainty better FPS than in windows.

Linux uptake is easily %5 now and will climb this year as more and more people switch. This %5 is mostly likely the actual threshold at which point studios start paying attention to the OS. I did not say make games native in linux. I said pay attention to the OS.

Our numbers are growing. More and more people are sick and tired of the actual bull ox manure that microsoft dished out. Their spying which they call "telemetry", the disrespect of the user and their chosen settings which are not reverted back to what they user set, the ads, the ads, the ads, yes, three times cos they show ads, again and again.

In windows 10 the BS even starts before you are even in the OS as you are asked no less than 15 questions on if you want to be spied upon or not. They even go as far as asking if you want to be identified and given a "personal" ID for the sake of the advertisers so they can serve you up "personalized" ads. WTF?

All this crap before you even used windows as this is before the install even.

That battllenet hanging @%50 was not your fault. I assume it was hanging at %50 as that is where it hangs with the bug, unless you do the work around. GE, aka gloriouseggroll has a fix on his channel posted. His youtube channel that is. GE works on proton and has his own versions. Might work for you...might not. Dunno. Worth a try.

Dont know if i can post links here so will only add the last bit of the youtube address that you can paste /watch?v=PRY56C9Jce0

TrackIR has a linux alternative. Opentrack. So even camera's work now. So now we have the basis of what makes DCS, DCS. The game, the joystick and the head tracking camera's with working software......

I am in the process of getting a bigger M2 SSD so i can actually start messing around with getting DCS to work. I dont have the space on current linux drive so cant even start to experiment. Once i get the bigger drive in a week or so, then windows is history for me for good. I am wiping the drive and that will go to another M2 slot to test CachyOS or Arch as people got DCS to run on those distros with VR headtracking and some peripherals like the glove for VR.

To use Linux or not is a personal choice for all of us. Continue to use windows if you so choose but then please also be quiet and stop moaning about what they do to you. This last sentence is not addressed to you - the person i replied to as you seem to have tried linux and it was a positive XP -  but to all those still on windows

@SharpeXB As always with your long standing "modus operandi", you keep derailing threads.

To keep talking in circles, with back-and-forth arguments, just to guide the conversation off-topic, in whatever unrelated direction that entertains you, is not being part of a discussion. And that ruins meaningful debates. 

I've been guilty myself of taking your bait and fueling you - my bad - sorry to everybody else who was looking into this.

You've dismissed the topic outright, without even having the most basic understanding of Linux, how it runs games.
It's been made clear that this subject doesn't interest you, nor does it concern you.
You're clearly antagonizing for whatever sadistical reason.
In other words:  it's "trolling".

So there is no point for you in being here.
Go away. Go derail some other thread, please.

None of that changes the fact that Linux is not going to be a mainstream consumer OS in the near future. Why's that? Microsoft has a tight grip on OEMs. That means everyone who doesn't buy a Mac will, by default, use Windows, unless some sort of Linux lobby comes around to pull OEMs off it.

In that case, you probably encountered a much bemoaned, but somehow indispensable species called the Non-Technical End User, or luser for short. Among their exploits are things such as power cycling the monitor when asked to reboot, immediately closing popups with vital information, or accidently deleting important documents. When undisturbed, they're generally capable of accomplishing simple tasks in Office, using the web browser or playing modern games. I'd like to know how you envision this species making a move to Linux at scale.

Like I said in the other thread, MS had been doing that since MS DOS. Linux might be gaining in the server market because servers are, generally, not bought off the shelf and set up with whatever OS came in the box. They're also set up by people whose IT skills extend beyond installing Chrome. Consumer hardware is, for most part, used with whatever OS had been shipped with it. Now, much of the community here runs custom gaming boxes festooned with exotic peripherals and optimized up the wazoo, but that's not exactly the norm.

[Hiob]

As I wrote in another thread. One way to give MS the finger as much as possible, is to use a Linux-VM in windows and tunnel out with a VPN. The beauty of Linux is that it is lightweight and runs perfectly inside VMs.

You can do almost everything in there and just use Windows for those performance hogs (mostly games, CAD and maybe video editing) that aren’t quite there yet.

Thanks for the laugh. That is one that I haven't come across (yet). But boy could I add to that list of exploits from what I've seen. 

Interesting you brought up MS-DOS because microsoft became popular - even though it wasn’t exactly user-friendly. Back in the Radio Shack era, home PCs were mostly bought by enthusiasts or people with tech-savvy friends to help them set up and maintain them. Even now, many home users rely on tech-savvy friends. Windows still isn’t trouble-free, and some automatic updates still can cause serious issues. I think there's a link here that MS needs to be careful not to dismiss. 

Linux today is far more user-friendly than MS-DOS was. For non-enthusiasts, there’s a growing market of alternatives that work well. Microsoft still needs tech enthusiasts, because it's past record of playing “catch up” in other markets hasn't aged well (Zune, or Windows Phone anyone?). Yet if more of those move to Linux because they've had enough with Windows - it's possible they will take with them a % of the market share along the way.   (I wonder what Microsoft’s 10-year goal is — to remove what made Windows a “personal computer OS” and create something closer to a child of ChromeOS + macOS)?

I’m excited by Linux gaming and expect that market to grow while Microsoft’s shrinks. To what extent is yet to be seen, but with Steam onboard - I am optimistic. 

I recall that some of Apple’s market share spikes came after Microsoft’s poor OS releases. It's not too difficult to see Linux could well see ongoing similar gains if Microsoft keeps it's nonsense up.

But I also wonder if this is being done to see how far they can push their customers. Synology did it recently with their marketing HDD's - and had to backpedal. I wonder how much that 'test' has cost them. If users push back hard or leave  - Microsoft may get the message. Or they may just be arrogant. If the latter, it's great to know there are alternatives, and well worth probably exploring now too.

This is a fantastic way to start exploring Linux without fully committing. Probably not ideal for gaming, but definitely for everything else. 

One of the big hurdles I see though with Linux is people deciding which Distro to use. So many people seem to be using so many distro's - I think that actually holds Linux back at times. I mean - which Distro is the best for people to migrate from Windows to? Is there one that stands out as being obvious, or is it very much a free-for-all?

Yes, gaming in VM only works for VERY lightweight games. However, gaming is not my main concern when it comes to windows. Other than my gamer tag and how much I suck at various games there isn’t much to learn…. But for now, I can at least exclude MS and their associated data brokers from sniffing through my office and (really) personal data. I would still love to ditch MS completely though.

I like Mint, it is as close to Windows as it gets (when it was still good XP, 7, 10 (apart from the telemetry BS)). Every Windows peasant will immediately find his way around once he learned what the applications are - if even different from W.
But the beauty of Linux is, that the flavour is merely an interface. Beneath it is all same and you can stitch it together as you like (but you don’t need to).

Opinions vary, but I think it'll depend on the use case.

Whether it's more "generalistic/casual" (also the kind you'd put on a non-gamer machine) or mostly PC gaming focused.
And whether you prefer an "immutable" or a "mutable" distro - the former is better for newcomers, but restrictive for advanced users (more about it HERE).

Each distro comes ready with more or less and different stuff (drivers, apps, etc) already pre-installed and set - which is an important aspect of each distro, to provide a more "hands on aproach" out of the box for the user, i.e, lose less time installing and testing stuff.

It's more about "which one suits my preference", so looking/reading (watch reviews, etc) about each, and maybe test for a short period if curious, is recommended. But I'd say:

"Generalistic/Casual use" - Mint, Ubuntu and Zorin are among the most popular.

"PC Gaming focus" - Bazzite, Nobara, Pop!Os and Garuda are among the most popular.

If you want to try, say, Mint e.g. (or any other distro), I can recommend Oracle Virtual Box as a VM-Software. It's free for private use and performs well. The setup is quite straight forward..... 

It's nice to have a seperate OS in a window, without the need for dual boot or similar....

Does it come preinstalled on any mass market PC or laptop? That's literally the only thing about MS-DOS that made it as popular as it was. My point wasn't that MS-DOS was any good, it was that it came packaged with IBM PC, and that is exactly the basis on which Windows continues to dominate the market.

Defaults are powerful. Google got in trouble for too aggressively pushing theirs on Android. People generally use what comes with the device. The notable exception is Chrome (presumably because people want their Google Account stuff to sync with their phones), but even then, 10% of desktop users use Edge. The process of installing an OS is considerably more complicated than double clicking the installer and agreeing to everything it asks you. 

Yes, Microsoft doesn't do well at playing catch-up. Be it Windows Phone, Zune or even WMR, when they're not the default, they rarely amount to much. However, they're the biggest kid on the block when it comes to OEMs and office applications. They don't need techy users, they've got corporate offices, they've got casual gamers, they've got every damn non-mac on the computer store shelf. Linux can't even begin to compete with those areas, and it has nothing to do with how bad Windows is, simply because it's the default. Same as it was with DOS.

Again, not gonna happen, because Apple sells hardware. People went "Windows sucks right now, I'll buy a Mac", they didn't go "Windows sucks, so I'm going to go and learn how to install a different OS". Show me a mainstream laptop that comes with any flavor of Linux, and I'll believe it'll gain market share beyond the tech savvy market. I'm pretty sure MS is aware of that and will spend money to keep OEMs on their OS. SteamOS is not even officially supported on PC right now, even Valve only seems to be interested in handhelds right now.

True, though Windows Phone was actually very good, and better and much more intuitive than Android at the time. And it would probably had a lot more corporate sales due to it's Windows integration. The price point was also very compelling. And it was FAST! What literally killed it off was the lack of Snapchat. Good Windows haters those Snapchat guys!

And imagine all those corporations that will need to have all their software compiled for Linux. All the consultant costs. The backbone deployment of tanking computers and laptops with applications and upgrades. Nah! It's not gonna happen. But Linux makes a compelling case for gamers.

When I got into the industry in 95-97, a colleague was laughing his ass off about Windows NT 4.0, and was preaching Linux and Netware. Oh, well. 

My father at the time was in technical management of the Civil Aviation Authorities in Norway, Avinor today. They was going for a new system which would print the strips for the ATC guys, pilots and what not. So, he asked me advice if they should go Windows or OS2. The tech guys in house really wanted OS2, and I said they're making a mistake. OS2 will be dead in a few years. I was right, hate Windows all you want but they had so many issues with printers and drivers they eventually had to give up. All that tax money down the drain. Just kidding, they make a <profanity> ton of money on the major tax frees. Even keeps all the small airport around the country going!

Quite the oppsite in my opinion. A lot of main stream software has a Linux variant anyway. And another trend (for ERP Software e.g.) is to make it a web-client-application anyway. Which makes sense, because it makes you not only independent from a specific OS, but from a specific computer AND location.
Really the ONLY thing holding back companies right now from switching (and they have much more motivation to do it, then consumers have - especially when not seated in the US), is specific purpose build software, that happens to be windows based. BUT we e.g. have started to put anything in docker containers and compartmentalise as much as possible.

That is something e.g. that a certain someone doesn't seem to grasp. The world doesn't revolve around consumers only. Sys-admins are much more open to this stuff than the average joe.

And - this is important - there is a BIG incentive for companies to switch. It's a task, but the more Microsoft bends the stick, the more the US goverment shows its unreliability the bigger the pressure becomes. 

[Hiob]

I mean, neither of us has a crystal orb. And you will probably find examples for this and that.... but one thing is clear - windows becomes crappier from month to month....

And that's why sysadmins are the ones switching to it, but that doesn't mean anyone else is going to. We're talking gaming, and that typically occurs on consumer devices. For all we care, all the rest of the world could go to Linux, but as long as people have Windows in their homes (and offices, see below), that's what PC gaming is going to be happening on.

The reality is, average joes comprise most of the world. That's why they're average. You don't seem to grasp that the commercial world (which game development is part of) does, indeed, revolve around them. Linux will remain a niche OS until it starts shipping with OEM hardware.

Does MS Office have a Linux variant? And no, the browser-based Office365 is absolutely inadequate, mostly on account as being very slow. Yes, there are FOSS alternatives like LibreOffice, but guess what, corporates typically have a support contract, certificates, all that jazz specifically for MS Office. They also use, and are integrated with, OneDrive, Outlook and Access, which have cloud features FOSS equivalents don't. You think a corporation would let go of all that and retrain everyone in Linux-based software?

Training people costs money, tech support costs money, and migrating costs money. For an average office drone, MS is here to stay, no matter how crappy it becomes, because it offers all-inclusive deals for corporate users.

The business world doesn't consist only of big corporations. We've been using Open Office and later Libre Office for years now.

Yep.
And I think that there's a misunderstanding regarding Linux. It's not trying to take on the world and become a monopoly. That won't happen, not anytime soon if ever.
It's about having a great alternative, for anyone who has all the valid reasons to be discontent with MS Windows and wants a way out of it.

I get that the adaptation fears, the related complexities, and the lack of mainstream info (so many questions about software compatibilities) scare people away.
But, regardless, there is interest.

The simple fact that Bazzite alone (just one among many of the Linux versions/distros) gained over 10.000 users (ten thousand) between May and August this year is telling.
That was two months ago... you can count on many more giving a chance to whatever Linux distro since then (disgruntled users with Win10 EOL) and even more in the future.

That's a good point, and you're right - defaults are powerful and need to be considered. But so are trends. If I look at the trends back then, Microsoft increased it's market share. If I look at the latest trends, are Microsoft increasing, maintaining, or decreasing their market share now. 

Re Edge - 10% isn't a lot when you consider it's the only browser installed by default on Windows machines.

Like war, if I look at the static picture - Microsoft seems to be winning. If I look at the trend, while I see Microsoft holds more land, they're also losing ground as there's multiple fronts, and they're not winning any new friends to their cause, and if anything bleeding defectors. 

Re office applications - I mentioned in another post (do we have 2 Linux threads here, I'm getting lost ) with Microsofts push to web apps - this makes Windows as an OS less compelling. You're right that the web version is grossly inadequate, but I don't think Microsoft cares. They are pushing people to 'try the web app', and I think that's the final destination. Grossly missing many features. Sure is - and I don't think they care. Microsoft seems to be happy to remove content instead of giving more in the more recent years - the arrogant attitude seems to be 'you will just put up with it'. And for the other apps, many of the corporate companies I deal with now are doing remote apps (Remote Apps, or Citrix, etc) for their Desktop software, reducing the need for users to be exclusively Windows - especially on their home computers. 

But I agree - the biggest roadblock is that Linux isn't available by default on OEM machines. But at the same time - probably the biggest leap forward for Linux is what Steam is doing and the gaming market. It's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. But I also know that I see things from my own perspective - which is that I have a windows computer at home solely for gaming - and that need is fast shifting away. 

Which leads me to my questions - has anyone successfully ran DCS on Linux with a Pimax Crystal Light, VAICOM, and SRS?
