For the most part it’s fine for me too. But just recently ran into some major issues with Blizzard games. So I definitely like to keep a dual boot for that reason. As well as compatibility and troubleshooting issues.

AMD video drivers are known to conflict with davinci resolve in Ubuntu. Thats why I said, to get it to work Natively on Linux you would need to switch to RHEL or CentOS.

Yeah sorry, the Amd card itself works great with Ubuntu in compute tasks. The software DaVinci Resolve however is a red hat binary so you would need to be on Rhel or centOS to work with Linux.

The argument for dual boot is mostly for gaming, as far as compute is concerned your AMD graphics card would have been fine on Ubuntu or an RHEL/CentOS operating system. But honestly in my experience, it’s always good to dual boot just in case. There are many scenarios where it saves you headaches and precious time.

Which is a perfect argument for dual boot scenarios. Which unfortunately are necessary for optimal use.

I agree it has improved, but I still have enough issues to where for me anyways. To justify dual boot, that is until I get an AMD video card. Believe me if I didint have to constantly find Nvidia workarounds, for performance and bugs. I would be on Linux 100 percent of the time.

I wasn’t talking about bricked systems, just the games themselves have issues and glitches. Especially with Nvidia. Not all games mind you. Plus the performance tax on Nvidia with Linux.

I love Linux, but damn unless you use Amd video cards. It’s a hard sell, especially if you’re a gamer. Not to mention, how often games break because they’re designed for windows. So dual boot is reasonable, in my opinion.
