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

 and now the "AI companion" thing that -is speculated- may become mandatory to the OS (non-disableable).

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.
