Serious games hardware testing channels like Gamers Nexus is a great progression. It brings Linux more into the mainstream while also putting a spotlight on driver deficiencies as well as weaknesses in the OS. How far we have come since the PopOS DE being removed by LTT.
I’m so glad he went with BazziteOS over a regular distro. Even though, I love CachyOS, but in this case we need to have more new users and we don’t want them to deal with any potential issues.
Also its probably a lot easier to handle for performing testing on equal conditions through the tests for all their cards. Sounds like ideally they want to freeze all their versions for at least a quarter of a year or more
CachyOS is great, and it’s my daily driver on my main rig, but I put Bazzite on a laptop specifically so that anyone in my household could use and maintain it. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a good use case for anyone who wants to set it and forget it.
I use CachyOS and it’s been more or less plug and play. Some next fest demos haven’t worked (i.e. B.C Piezophile) but whenever that happened I just moved on to a different game and put it in the “later” folder to see if time will fix it.
I find great the devs of the respective projects took time to actually tell how things work for gn. Sure, they get the attention because it’s a known channel, but on the other hand, Microsoft would never give them this much detail and attention to actually understand what’s happening
looks like they’ve learned a lot since the previous video
Not sure of exact windows comparisons, but 5090 had problems, and I don’t think amd is ahead of nvidia by as much on windows.
There is certainly a very big amount of fuckery going on right now with nvidia drivers. I simply did not know it was getting this bad. Also, I find very interesting the nvidia “open source” bit got the criticism it deserves (is just not open. There was a transfer of responsibilities, and one small part got open)

“Right now” meaning every year for the past decade or two.
It’s always something with Nvidia drivers. Performance+stability is more the exception than the rule.
That said, AMD drivers have a bad rep too. Personally I’ve had zero issues since I switched to AMD but experiences seen to vary a lot from what I’ve read.
Before that, I don’t think I ever got through a full year without at least one weekend lost to troubleshooting Nvidia bullshit. CUDA is a pain in the ass even on Windows.
AMD winning by far on windows if you factor value into the equation
