It’s not fear, it’s laziness and just general fed-upness of dealing with computers and the overwhelming complexity of everything nowadays. There’s nothing fun or thrilling about computers anymore, it’s a black box to me now.
Still waiting for nvidia to pull their heads out of their asses and fix gaming performance on their GPUs under Linux before I make the jump myself. And no, I don’t want an AMD GPU.
Nothing really wrong with them if they offer the performance and features you want. But I am a high end user and I also use some software that’s really reliant on CUDA. So they’re not really winning in either the performance or the features department for my personal use.
I know it’s not terrible, but there is a performance disparity there that you can’t ignore. If someone is spending $1000+ on a high end GPU I think it is fair for them to expect a level of performance that’s a little better than “fine”.
If by disparity you mean sometimes Windows is better and sometimes Linux is better. I have one of those GPUs. Give it a try before you slam it. Valve has thrown so much money into Proton that support is amazing compared to when I tried a decade ago.
Benchmarks are readily available, I have a 5080. Some DX11 and older games do run slightly better on Linux. But a lot of them don’t. And pretty much 100% across the board DX12 games run 10-30% slower on Linux compared to Windows. Nvidia has even acknowledged the issue and claims to be working on a solution.
Linux is the only viable solution to this mess. And no it is not as scary as it seema
Does Lemmy have a “Stallman was right” community? Or is that just all of Lemmy.

See ya on Windows 7 with 0patch micropatches :D

What’s wrong with amd? In the market for a gpu right now

Nothing. The current generation card is slightly worse in rasterization performance while handily slapping my 7900 XTX in Ray tracing performance.

I use NVIDIA on Linux and nothing no issues or performance hits
It’s fine. Not sure where you heard it’s terrible.
