Same. They've always done this shit, but installing windows - and then uninstalling or disabling all the cooked-in bloat and spyware - has become so ridiculously tiresome that I just said fuck it and went Linux full-time.

Every update or service pack, it starts all over. There's no such thing as a clean windows install.

Nobara was up and running in like ten minutes with no fuckery at all, and it's no nice not having to fight my OS on everything.

the constant cat and mouse game to disable the crap is something i dont miss after switching.

You game and if yes, ATI or Nvidia?

Edit: yes I'm old and meant AMD.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

I'd be really impressed if anyone still gamed on ATI.

I'm not that guy but yes and Nvidia

[–] throbbing_banjo 3 points 4 months ago

Yep! I'm on Nvidia, the new drivers are really solid. I've read AMD cards run fine as well, but don't use one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I can testify for AMD. It just works on the 7900xtx.

Early last year it had issues buy they pushed a driver update and its perfect now.
