As a 1060 owner I’m gonna tell you this is probably the case only for newer gpus!

The 980Ti as stated by the Dirk’s comment use Maxwell architecture, I’m not able to find any end of support date on the site, so I’m not sure when they will drop support.

Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?

Unfortunately you don’t need to wait to see this happens, because it’s already happening right now, indeed dx12 games have a lot of problems running on this older cards on linux, and I myself experienced this with my 1060 first with cyberpunk 2077 and after that with resident evil 2 remastered.

As even stated by doitsujin (dxvk creator):

Low D3D12 performance on Nvidia Pascal (and older) GPUs is expected and likely won’t improve much. The hardware has a bunch of limitations that make it very hard to extract good performance. Turing fares better, but only AMD actually runs reasonably well right now.

I’m a zoomer and ngl I cannot relate to this

I’m not placing blame on the Linux Foundation, Linus, or anyone else for that matter. However, I believe that if Linus has publicly endorsed the use of Rust in the kernel, that decision is already largely set in motion. On the other hand, if the community collectively opposes the integration of Rust with C and no action is taken to address these problems, and everyone say no, then there is little to no reason to make the initial statement.

Much of the work being produced by Rust developers seems to struggle, often because it’s not made in C and because of maintainers saying “No I don’t want any rust code near my C code”.

I recognize that there are various technical factors influencing this decision, but ultimately it was the creator’s choice to support it.

That’s what I tought

I don’t know what the hell are you talking about

The actual account name

Nope on the framework 13, with an exception on the audio jack, is modular so you can swap it with another module

Oh yes the good old " "

Is your cache folder on a hdd?

Now I need to know who the hell has installed Free Download Manager on Linux.

Nice write about the topic! This turned out to be pretty handy to reduce power consumption on my 5700u!

The best way to switch imo is to first to switch some of your currently installed app on windows with others that have a linux version, so you will not be entirely lost when you switch os.

For example Microsoft Office is not available on linux so maybe try libreoffice or onlyoffice, another example Photoshop doesn’t have a linux version too.

Then maybe try to familiarize with the os on a vm or on a live usb, especially on a live usb so you know what works out of the box and with your hardware.

If you want to game look for you games on protondb if they work or not, for online games instead watch areweanticheatyeat to see if the anticheat work.

Last tip is to go with a know distro not something obscure like steamos or kali linux, they are not meant to be used as daily drivers especially kali and can give you problems that will not occurre in other distro!
