It depends on both the hardware and distro. I got a laptop RTX 3070 and depending on the distro I got different problems.

On Linux mint, running some games in full screen will freeze the main screen

On fedora KDE/Nobara, you can have an incompatible kernel version getting installed as an update, borking the system.

On nix os KDE, blender doesn't want to render anything after waking from sleep (may be a blender issue.)

seems to be cuda issue. On my machine cuda sometimes refusing to work after sleep, requiring some 'node restart'
Might be fixed by disabling modeset (nvidia-drm modeset=0), or by blocking display server from using nvidia drm node (if display output does not use nvidia)

Meh. I actually like it because it reminds me to save the file.

Although nice domain name lol

Yeah on fedora or any other rolling distros you've got to look it up online if an Nvidia driver has been released before upgrading the kernel. I always forget to do that and I'm forced to touch grass for a few days until the driver gets released.

Personally that was a deal breaker for me. After a long day at work, coming back to chill out and do some blender only to find out your setup is booked and now you have to fix the system, it really gets on you.

Thankfully I had an old Linux mint partition I never cleaned up (Too lazy), so I could have continue, but the average user would just go "fuck Linux. Going back to windows".

Yes I switched to bazzite on by gaming PC for that reason. Works really well and I can always play my games without that fear, or the annoyance of windows. I always recommend bazzite to new users for this reason.

Fedora works really well on my laptop tho

I'm not a big gamer (and factorio doesn't have the full screen issue) so I still use mint, but I'm gradually switching to nixos. Works better... If you add the correct config for game scope and the rest (easily found on the wiki)

[-] NeilNuggetstrong@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I'm still at least a year away from falling down the nixos rabbit hole, but I can hear it calling to me. Good luck tho

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

As a nix os user, I would recommend it if you are actually willing to learn the config language. It will be hard. And 2 months into actually making nix os my main machine, I still have no intuition with how to edit the config more than "copy paste this file, add the new code, import".

Is it worth it? Ehh... I just like how I can actually know what's installed and not forget a 30 GB app I never use is still there

Yeah I've experienced the nobara issue a few times
