    Typically the top 3 biggest PITA common issues was GPU, WiFi and trackpad, in that order. Every. Time.

    Nvidia drivers are literally the reason I keep going back to windows on my gaming rig. Any time I get a Linux install working the way I like it, within 6-10 months the graphics would shit the bed and I’d fight with it until I gave up and went back just to have a working is with minimal after work IT bullshit.

    All my servers are Linux tho. I’ll probably try again later in the year when 10 goes EOS

      Not saying you need to do this, especially if you do 4K, but my solution was just buying AMD GPUs. I’m on a Radeon RX 6800 now (RX 580 before) and things are just so nice and easy with my dual-boot.

        If I had to give up either Linux or Nvidia, it’s not even a question. It’s Nvidia, and it’s not even close.

        I sold my 3070 and bought a 7800xt just so I could have a smoother experience, and I wasn’t even having issues.
