Oh, makes sense. It thought Valve would already be working with some manufacurers based on this interview from November

Shame that all these companies choose win11 over SteamOS

nah I had still warranty left, just sold the one I got back from RMA. Done govong Logitech my moneyy, I got a much better mouse now :)

Both suck.

Had TWO G413 keyboard where the E-key just stopped registering keypresses sometimes. Third one got the same issue on left ctrl… returned and got a custom keyboard lmao.

I also had a G Pro X Superlight whatever and it took only 4 months to develop double clicking and super weird tracking issues like stuttery cursor movement and sometimes just stopping to work unless I restarted or re-plugged the mouse. Recently got a Lamzu Thorn. Easily the best mouse I have ever had, can recommend over Logitech’s garbage

Same here. this is upsetting :/ Back to firefox I guess

This is the way. I dabbled with a modmic but even that developed a cable issue after a couple of years. Now everything I have is modular and all of their cables can be just swapped out.

Gaming headsets.

Kept buying whatever I could for ~60-70€ at the time, and they kept breaking within a year. Bought proper headphones for 120€ which lasted me 8 years.

Going to ask here, anyone know a music player that is similar to AIMP? It has no native support, unfortunately.

No worries! I switched to AMD (7900 XTX) before christmas and so far I’ve had no issues. A 6800XT should have pretty similar performance to a 4070, not a bad choice either. The drivers are pretty much matured already so most of the launch issues, like VR performance and power usage should be resolved by now.

But NVIDIA also just works, even though the cards can be massive, and they are quite energy efficient. Their control panel is straight from windows XP era though :D

I’m sure whatever you’ll have a great gaming experience no matter what choose :)

The parts are compatible, but not sure if the GPU will fit in the case. You could go for a full tower to be sure.

There are cheaper RTX 4070 models available on the same page, so unless you absolutely want this exact model you could save 60-70€.

Also unless you need all the nvidia features like CUDA, you could also try seeing if you can find a cheap AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT in your country. It would perform better and has more VRAM for future proofing.

I am also dual booting because of game compability and Virtual Reality support.

I think once wine-wayland gets fully merged we will see a clear uplift in performance, at least on wayland.

This very much.

The reason I switched was the forced updates that kept slowing down my computer when I needed the juice and network. Also there was a constant pressure to “upgrade” to win11.

OP, If you don’t have many major grievances with windows, it might not be worth switching. Nothing stopping you from taking a look in case you might like it. I have enjoyed my experience so far, despite some small issues.

Nobara on my desktop, Pop_os! on my laptop. As soon as the new COSMIC DE is ready I will switch to Pop on my desktop as well.

Seems pretty okay. I managed to get League of legends/TFT running perfectly fine (though the launcher is a bit stuttery)

CSGO I noticed runs WAY smoother on Linux. Maybe becausw it uses Vulkan which is a lot more modern than dx9. But the aim just feels… smoother despite the same FPS?

edit: on Nobara and a AMD GPU
