Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

I have a GTX 1080 and I've been gaming on Linux for over a year now. No issues. Only thing that you cant do is some of the new generation window managers (wayland) but even that is working well in the nvidia drivers that arent on stable yet. In any case, the previous generations window managers work great and if wayland doesnt work properly for you, you can just as easily do without it.

Point is, its worth it to make the switch. I set my partner up with Linux Mint when their machine didnt qualify for windows updates anymore and they've had no problems, games and all. And they would never touch the command line.

Would recommend

Yep same with PoPOS. Great little distro. It's been my daily driver for years now.

hey GTX1080 user! Have you been able to get any games running with RTX? I picked mine up used a while back, and I kinda stopped PC gaming ages ago, but it'd be nice to use these features if I could. I haven't been able to get RTX Portal or RTX Quake 2 to work right via Steam, so i figured the card/drivers just can't handle it and I should just play vanilla DOOM instead.

My understanding is the 1080 predated the RTX stuff by a generation, even when I was on Windows I don't think the Nvidia drivers for the 1080 supported RTX well, if at all

Correct.

I still have a 1080Ti in one machine and it definitely does not support RTX of any stripe, on any OS.
