I've ditched Windows 11 for Arch Linux on my Gaming Rig! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've been debating making the switch for a long time, but after spending like a week researching Proton, Lutris etc. on Linux, I decided to try it out and nuked my entire Windows 11 drive. :)

So far, every game I threw at it works perfectly fine, including Elden Ring & Cyberpunk.

I had to spend a little time troubleshooting some small issues but it's part of the fun!

Specs are in the neofetch, my compositor / WM is Wayfire (Wayland) :)

Arch, i3, GTX 3080 12GB, and no issues. I'm holding off migrating to Wayland for the sake of full compatibility with all screen-sharing solutions.

I've never really experienced any issues pairing Linux with nVidia, so I have trouble personally relating to all the hate they catch. There have been a few times where the kernel and the nVidia driver were mismatched, which caused issues trying to start up Xorg, but that's easily solvable.
