I actually feel bad for people on windows 11. People, please just switch to Linux already. There just isn't any real reason to stay on it anymore, and if you do you've got some ridiculous bullshit niche setup that 0.1% of people use. And for people on Nvidia just grab that Nvidia pop_os ISO for that idiot proof setup, seriously, there are no more excuses and it's really not any more difficult to use than Windows. Don't listen to people saying you have to open a terminal to do anything either, that's a straight up fucking lie, and if you really have to, then copy/paste is all you need to know.
If you have to use rtx and dlss to justify your overpriced graphics card, then there's AMD fsr that can be forced on damn near any game you want, it's not as good but it gets the job done, as for Ray tracing, come on...be real with yourself for 5 minutes, what game other than control has use Ray tracing in any meaningful way other than to look pretty?
Windows is just not worth the hassle anymore, wake the fuck up people.
I hate what Windows has become as well, but I primarily play COD with my friends and I don't see them moving to another game for my hatred of Windows.
Get an Xbox then and use m/KB with crossplay. Or play better games, apex runs through proton, get them to play that instead. Anyone switching away from cod is a good deed.
I don't think you understand how group dynamics work, my friend.
And I'm not gonna play on an XBOX when I have an ultimate gaming PC just lying there.
I don't think you understand how much I don't give a shit that you have an "ultimate gaming PC" just lying there...I gave you options, take em or leave em, but ultimately you're choosing not to do a damn thing about it and will just keep eating Microsoft Windows ads with every update. At least an Xbox is kind of expected to have ads since it's somewhat subsidized. As for group dynamics, if your friends won't try other games with you, sounds like you need better friends.
Oh boy, who pissed in your coffee?
That's fair, just tired of explaining shit to uninformed windows fanboys that don't understand what they're talking about.
Want low latency audio production? There's a distro with a low latency kernel for that.
Need a hyper focused gaming distro? Guess what, there's a distro for that.
You want something so easy to use that even your tech illiterate grandparents can't fuck their PC with something as stupid as updates? Well what do you know, there's a distro for that as well with immutable OS's that look and feel like Windows.
Windows fanboys spew bullshit like ease of use and not breaking their shit when they click buttons, but the reality is Linux is no different, it can be as easy or as difficult to use and break as you want.
The sad bullshit fact is if you use Windows, your PC is Microsoft's and not yours, if you use Linux your PC is yours to control, and nothing hits that home like bullshit advertisements on your start menus and settings app.
