So I’ve been a little wary of installing Linux on my desktop since I have a 1660 ti as a graphics card and read that there are some problems with drivers and such. Are my fears unfounded/outdated? Anyone experienced any problems and what Linux distro should I look to use for gaming?

    I use Fedora 37 workstation with the Nvidia proprietary drivers from RPM Fusion. Relatively painless install, with the option to sign the kernel module if you want to keep secure boot on. Only downside is the Nvidia drivers still don’t work great with Wayland, so I normally login with Gnome on X for gaming.

      Same here. Fedora 37 on 3070Ti. Sadly, not all nvidia options are available in games’ settings (like dlss). Also performance is sadly a bit lower than on windows. But according to Nick from TLE it should get better soon. No such issue on AMD.

        DLSS doesn’t seem to work in any of the games I play, so I’ve been using FSR in games that support it. It’s not as good as DLSS but it does the job for now.
