    Of course Linux is better for custom, purpose-built hardware. That’s like, its main advantage for the commercial sector.

        Now we just need that GFX software from intel / amd / nvidia that is available on windows, taking advantage of that newly supported hardware

        Stop, you’re making me too hard. I might be able to like, ditch Windows if that happens.

        Edit. By software I’m talking about in game features.

        Like FSR and such? That’s available on Linux (FSR 1.x is integrated into SteamOS for compositor-level upscaling). AFAIK AMD does not officially support FSR on Linux but it’s written in a way that it should work with minor integration work. It’s written with cross-platform support in mind, given that it’s targeting PlayStation etc. als well.

        Yeah, the sole reason I don’t have linux on my old laptop is that lenovo has completely proprietary video drivers for it. I’m talking “manufacturer’s installers don’t think there’s a video card there” proprietary.

      Also, single purpose use cases. Servers don’t necessarily run on custom hardware, but they do only one type of thing.
