    I love this thread.

    Linux users constantly talk about how Linux just works and Windows is garbage, but then half these comments are talking about how you should buy an entirely different computer to make Linux run with FEWER issues.

    Windows may have it’s problems, but I don’t need to buy an entirely new PC to make it work. AMD, Nvidia, Intel, doesn’t matter. It just works.

      Well Linux just works. Unless if you buy hardware from a company that actively tries to fuck you in the ass for using Linux

      What you’re basically saying, is like whining that Windows doesn’t run on a macbook

        So Linux doesn’t “just work”. People in here with PC hardware and claiming they have issues. The “solution” is to buy different hardware.

        Guess what? Both of those pieces of hardware just work on Windows.

        Cope, though.

      This thread is utterly braindead but nvidia users are not completely out of luck. Use the proprietary drivers with xserver instead of wayland and it works fine (speaking from personal experience). Xserver has it’s own issues and will probably be phased out in favour of wayland in the future but hopefully by then, it will be able to support nvidia better.
