  • I use a quest 1 on Linux.(According to the alvr the quest 3 is also fully supported) Played about the last half of half life on Linux.

    However some VR games just don’t run well under proton I still have windows installed for that. Even if i didn’t boot into windows for a half year now.

    Also first recommend installing Linux in dual boot with windows if you don’t know if al your programs/games work. Nowadays most stuff works but you can always keep windows for just in case.



  • I live in the Netherlands and now pay €188 a year. It’s just a “wa” insurance meaning if I hit something they pay the damage of the other’s, but not mine damage.

    I drive a car from 2009 and have 10 years of no damages. So if your willing to move to the Netherlands wait 10 years you can lower your payment. (Not really a option I guess)

    When there was basically only Netflix I paid for it and almost completely stopped pirating. Now I have acces to Netflix, Disney, prime(Disney and prime by password sharing) and I again started pirating years ago.

    I for sure pay €20 for one service with almost everything, no ads and decent quality. Then I again stop pirating

    In my case I use a Emby server and not “free” streaming options because I can choice the quality, subtitles and on which device I want to watch. Or download it on my phone for offline watching.

    All under my control without any ads.







  • AMD is better on Linux most of the time. Running a AMD card day one is not hassle free.

    That being said if you pick a up to date distro all 7000 and 6000 series should work fine now. They are already in the kernel and mesa for a while. You may want to update you kernel and mesa sometimes to get better performance and stability.

    But in my experience nvidia is fine on Linux. (I only used older cards gtx 970 and a rtx 2060) especially when you have just one monitor or all monitors on the same refresh rate. It’s not on par with windows but will work with the Nvidia drivers.

    So I would say if you a simple setup Nvidia is fine and AMD is better. It all depends on the best deal you can get. If ray tracing is not that important AMD is new the best value. If you more on a budget second AMD Rx 5700 XT are pretty cheap here and there are some good deals on Nvidia 30 series cards.

    As far I have read intel cards can be a pain on Linux. So I would not recommend it for now.
