i run dual-boot on my PC, these days i'm only switching over to windows for gaming since nvidia GPUs don't get a lot of support on the linux side nvidia doesn't go out of there way to support linux as much as AMD does
What kind of support are you missing? I run Linux exclusively with an Nvidia card and see regular driver updates (not as frequently as the kernel, for example, but still).
Is Ray Tracing and various DLSS features available out of the box now? Last I looked into it they were still a bit unstable / hackable to get properly setup if they worked at all.
I watch lot of HDR content on my PC with the HDR signal being sent to my display TV instead of having to fall back to tone mapping. Last I checked HDR wasn't working on Linux. Been checking in on it for several years, but it always seems to be being worked on but not ready for release.
i didn't phrase it too well; what i meant was that nvidia doesn't support linux as much as AMD seems to.
nvidia GPUs don't get a lot of support on the linux side.
First time I'm hearing about this. What do you mean? You get regular, automatic driver updates and they work... what is missing?
Older drivers for older cards are also available, although this may depend on the distribution rather than Nvidia.
Vulkan is basically unsupported by nVidia on anything before the 20-series on Linux. My 1060 6GB can only manage around 4-5 FPS at 1080p in some games as a result while others work totally fine. In addition, the drivers aren't open source, so no one can go in and fix that problem.
Really depends. E.g. Houdini, Blender and Nuke are Linux-first as Linux took over IRIX's market share, and generally that of Unix workstations.
All three predate Windows 95, the whole PC and Windows platform back then was considered cheap toys for accounting and management, not serious computing.
Good to know. It also depends highly on the industry, industry age (e.g. 3D modeling isnt 300 years old) and target group.
Buuuut I need to say it...
I wrote that word for a meaning. ;)
