or, you know, just switch to linux. several distros are basically just as usable out of box as anything microsoft has released.

I've tried and gaming is a lot better than it was, but I still prefer Windows in that department though I do stick with SteamOS for the Steam Deck and haven't bothered running Windows on it.

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.
