    The issue isn’t performance, it’s Nvidia’s unstable drivers.

    E: fuck me, are people stupid? Performance and stability are not the same thing.

    Performance on Nvidia cards on Linux is fine. The issue is the bizarre issues you have like multi-monitor weirdness or adaptive refresh rate not working properly. Nvidia’s drivers need kinks worked out but they aren’t slower.

      Irrelevant to someone that wants their game to run.

        I didn’t say otherwise. We were talking performance, not stability, that’s why I said the word performance, then said Nvidia’s drivers were unstable.

        Understand? Performance means performance and stability means stability. I can appreciate that might be hard to grasp, but they’re different words for a reason, and that reason is they mean different things.

        I don’t know why I bother talking to morons on Lemmy who deliberately misinterpret what people say and use that as a gotcha. You’re not smart for using a straw man argument.

        Nvidia needs to sort their shit out.

      You realise that not having access to stable drivers is a performance issue because it means games don’t run properly or at all?

          Wow you're *incredibly* smart.

          I certainly am smarter than the people who base their conclusion of an OS performance being better than another OS’ on a test made on a single hardware setup.

          It’s also very funny that when people say they have a hard time making games run on Linux and they mention that they have an Nvidia GPU the first reaction is “Oh yeah, that’s why” and then they’re told to try whatever voodoo magic is in season at the moment to make it run properly but you’re here saying “Oh no, there’s no problem in game!” Yeah, because the problem is actually loading the game inthe first place so there can’t be any issues IN it if you can’t get in!

              I don’t know why you’re not upset that they present it as a fact when they only tested on one machine with AMD hardware to come to a general conclusion as if it applied to all hardware.

              You don’t need to defend some random OS.

                I don’t see the issue with testing it using fixed hardware, they made that clear in the article.

                I’m not defending some random OS, the facts presented speak for themselves. Stop projecting.

                  Top comment in that chain explain exactly what the issue is.
