Is it worth the trouble with an Nvidia card? (lemmy.cafe)

Hey folks. I’m a new dad which means my gaming time is at a premium, but I am going through a big cleanse of the enshittification era of the internet right now, and Windows 11 is kinda giving me bad vibes.

Last time I tried to run Linux it was ok and worked the majority of the time, but ray tracing and a few games caused some issues. I was also using game pass which of course doesn’t work on Linux, so I dropped back to windows.

How is Nvidia life these days? I’ve got a 3080 and an AMD 9800X3D so it should be fine for most games I imagine.

I heard that CachyOS is pretty good with NVIDIA so maybe that’s the best bet and just see if all my games I’m currently playing work.

Nobara with the nvidia build has been great for me

~~Multiplayer~~ Games with anticheat in kernel won't work in any linux distribution, the rest is fine with proton.

It's now only some games.

Most of the kernel anti cheats support Linux but it's up to the individual game developer to enable that feature.
