Pretty much only Nvidia these days, and installing GPU drivers won't kill you either since yes, they are avaiable.

>>59641409
This is what I experience as well. Gnu/Linux drivers are seriously painless, except for the drivers for the latest GPU. I still can not get adequate output from my RX480 on gnu/linux.

>>59640271

this.
Xorg shit itself when I popped a new gpu in.
Was easy enough to fix but for somebody who could be trying out a linux distro for the first time they'd just conclude that the OS is a broken piece of shit and go back to windows or osx.

Linux is only free if your time has no value.

>>59640800
Typically GPU drivers are installed at install, are you hot swapping gpus or something. Also the open source gpu drivers should just work out of the box for everything but gaming.

>>59640901
Debian has an iso image with firmware included, although I would recommend using a different distro as debians packages are super out of date even on the bleeding edge unstable repos.

if you have any clue what you're doing then you'll known Linux is basically 20 years ahead of Windows in the maintenance department. they're in two completely different universes basically.

but since you're a baby-duck-syndrome-addled consumer twat and all you've ever known is Windows, anything that puts you out of your comfort zone will cause you to REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in frustration.

indeed, and the latter is objectively better.

in both cases the average user would have been completely fucked. there was no recourse for the Windows machine other than to buy a dvd drive or install Windows 10, if I didn't also happen to have a Linux OS on it with ntfs-3g installed. rescuing an Arch install is no easy feat either (at least by normie standards) but the fact that I was able to do the fucking thing in 5 minutes stat with zero consequences speaks volume about the relative quality of both systems.

if I'd updated Arch before changing the hardware there would have been absolutely no process required either. and that's not a terribly difficult thing to do especially if you're running something like Ubuntu.

lastly, you're proving my point. you're not born with the innate knowledge of how drivers work on Windows. you just learned that shit by using the fucking thing all your life. most retards go to Geek Squad for their next-button-clicking and rebooting needs.

Since this is the thread where we post personal experiences.

Why do Linux users act like I'm a low IQ subhuman because I want wifi to work? I can't even use all my hardware without proprietary drivers and add ons in Linux, which defeats the purpose of a "free" OS.

>>59642369
I was moving from Piledriver. I doubt that would have made a difference though.

>>59642457
you're not dumb. you just happen to have a shitty proprietary wifi nic that the manufacturer didn't bother to write Linux drivers for. the fault is squarely on their shoulder. not you nor the platform.

expect some benevolent nerd to write those drivers for you and get them merged into the Kernel within a few months if it hasn't happened already.

My RX 480 works flawlessly. AMD drivers improved a lot since they released the AMDGPU driver. The 2 things you need is the Linux kernel and mesa which ship out of the box with almost all distro's. The only reason it might not perform as great as you'd like is if you run a less recent kernel and mesa version.

It's a good time to use AMD on Linux.

Just start buying compatible hardware. You can even buy machines w/ GNU/Linux preinstalled on them.

It is frustrating the first time you try out the OS, since yeah, you may very well have something that won't work. But uh, if you want to use linux, buy hardware with good support for it.

A lot of it has to do with shitty hardware vendors essentially catering to windows and then telling everyone else to fuckoff.
To the point they purposefully put in roadblocks to make people writing their own drivers in their own free time for their hardware more difficult that it should be.

They still need to fix linux's shitty GUI but hardware support they do provide is actually impressive, you just have to make sure before you buy hardware it's going to be supported by the platform you want to use if it's not windows. I have seen people complaining they can't even use a primary boot record that isn't named "Windows Boot Manager".

Microsoft is a pretty shitty company because they make some good stuff but practice shady business tactics. You can see internal docs of them planning attacks and why this free open source movement was like "a virus" that cannot be attacked by conventional means. Microsoft is essentially at war for control over your PC, and their most recent moves are deploying malware and spyware into the update system, as well as forcing upgrades so they have more control over your PC. You cannot even tell modern windows when to update, it updates whenever it wants and you can just defer restarting the machine.

Windows:
>If anything is 5 or more years old you have to deal with abandonware drivers that may not even be hosted by the company who made the hardware

Linux:
>If something is 5 years old someone's bound to have made a third party driver for it that's included in the kernel (at least generic ones, some distros like Ubuntu like to remove drivers for less common stuff from the kernel)

>be winbabby

do people seriously know how to use this? is there some trick i'm not getting?

>>59643113
Well that and the fallacy that on windows you cannot just install drivers. There is no install_drivers.exe you just double click on.

So he completely collapsed the windows tree and completely expanded the linux tree. The irony being a native package manager is a tool local on your machine that can install programs with a one liner.
Windows actually has a more roundabout way of downloading software requiring a web browser and navigating websites to download an installation wizard that you have to click through.

Linux has it's weak points but package management is actually one of it's strengths.

Seriously, if i put on a balance the pros and cons of windows and Linux, Linux always wins. Windows has in general given me a lot more of trouble than what it benefits me, and that's just the purely technical aspects, if you have compatible hardware Linux is practically maintenance-free, even installing the few proprietary drivers i need can be done from a GUI directly in the OS and i can keep them updated always from an official source.

Aside from the purely technical aspect i consider a serious disadvantage knowing that if i depend on a Windows-only program is like being married with windows because i don't have the option to abandon it but at the same time i must like whatever Microsoft wants to do with me. Seems a pretty asymmetrical deal to me and more considering Microsoft has a very bad record on being unethical.

Honestly i only use Windows when there's absolutely no option due to a lock-in situation or because i'm asked at work to use a Microsoft-only technology (this is less common each day fortunately) but otherwise i avoid it. No OS is perfect of course and i can't talk about OSX but i'm 1000 times more willing to forgive an honest mistake, for example a bug or the lack of a feature dues to lack of human resources, than something pushed on me on purpose.

>>59640256

You sound like one of those people who uses decade old thinkpad because that's what they uses on the ISS.

I'm a regular consumer. Knowing how to use a super computer means fuck all to me. I'm never going to use one. Windows is a lot more relevant to me, because it's used at my job, at my dentist's office, my parents use it, etc etc.

Linux is a lot more relevant to me because I use it at my job, my vps, at home on my htpc and my desktop, on my routers, and on my smartphone. My parents use chromebooks so they use linux too.

Also, I grew up using windows until I began my career so I also know how to use Windows machines! They are much more annoying to deal with (I can't just scp some dot files from my main machine and be up and running) but I can usually fix most issues.

THIS. I definitely think that the people who claims windows is easier is because they barely know anything about linux in the first place and second that they have invested a lot into their pride of being "the computer guy of the family" because they now know how to workaround a lot of the bullshit on windows but for me at least a lot of that things becomes unacceptable once you learn there's a better way to manage an OS.

To be fair most people grew being trained from a young age on how to use microsoft products as if they were the way to use a computer, obviously for most people any other thing will feel alien in comparison unless you train them is a similar fashion on how to use linux. This contrast a lot with ios or android because for the previous generation mobile devices like smart-phones or tablets was something new and when they tried it they had no bias in comparison so they adapted slowly and teach their children to use them. Now that mobile devices are used even in schools, mostly android it's obvious the reason why people doesn't even touch windows phone, most kids grow with android.

My point is that i don't think windows is easier than linux at all, at least not than user-oriented distros like ubuntu, at least i say this based in my own experience recommending linux to people that doesn't have that much bias, for example people that only uses their computer for simple things like browsing the web or writing simple office documents, it has worked amazingly well for me when the person doesn't have a hard dependency on an strict workflow so i firmly believe that if a person has the same chance to learn both windows and something like ubuntu or mint from the same age linux definitely wins by a wide margin.

windows:
- visit windows mpv builds site and download latest one
- extract it wherever
- do the same for ffmpeg
- again for youtube-dl
- need to find and run another script to make it a registered application you can easily pick defaults for
- if you want them up to date, need to go get them again yourself

linux:
- pacman -S ffmpeg mpv youtube-dl
- updates along with the rest of your system automatically

This. I wonder what all these people are doing wrong.

>>59641409
Lack of knowledge is probably what is dragging you down on windows. It's not fair to compare the two when you are using command line for one and the shit gui for the other.
Just bring up cmd or powershell and do "dism /image:c: /add-driver /driver:c:\locationofdrivers /recurse"

>>59646107
heh, i made the mistake of attempting to integrate the nvidia drivers that way
well, it turns out it copies over referenced files from each and every inf, regardless of if they're referencing the same files
the already huge 300M+ driver package became something like 20G

>>59646175
You could specify it, by removing the recurse and putting in the inf file name in the location. If the install fucks you could use the same command to uninstall the drivers, just substitute add for remove.

>>59646254
in this case i was making a generalized installation image, so it would make no sense for me to pick out only a particular set of inf's for my own hardware (not that i could tell which inf's were for what, they had useless names)

Why are you insulting someone for playing games when you clearly play games yourself? You obviously are confusing the dolphin file manager from KDE with the emulator which seems like a gaymer kinda thing.

>>59645757
>Exists on windows
Except for dolphin (not the emulator) is true, i'm just saying i discovered a lot of nice things on linux.

>Wow, you had to google how to get your OS to work? Sounds like a cuck OS to me.
That was probably the worst problem i had, after that everything has been smooth. Most problems are easy to solve on linux but on windows sometimes the best option is to reinstall the system because you cannot know exactly how it works at all.

>t-thanks linus!
This is a common complain but i discovered this is hardly linux's fault or just MSO being "good" at opening documents.

>W-WE DON'T LIKE IT, IT TRIGGERS OUR AUTISM SO WE WONT SUPPORT IT!
>Kay.
Comic related, i don't see a good reason to support that kind of behavior that only hurts me in the long run. Ignorance is a bliss i guess but now i'm the true owner of my documents.

>Okay, so you're a gaymemes player as well.
I like games, i don't play too much but is good to have +2000 games on linux right now.

>he actually believes this
>MUH MORAL HIGHGROUND!
Check Microsoft's record by yourself, i don't need a high moral ground it's just i have some standards on how a company can treat me.

>Windows is shit, but linux distros are a fucking mess.
No OS is perfect of course but for me definitely the linux platform wins when i compare it's pros and cons.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>windows: search google, download driver, install it, shit works
>Linux: search repo, download and install driver with package manager, shit works
i don't know how you fags have so many problems with everything

Not sure if you've noticed but Linux is geared more towards mobile and servers. Linux runs like 80% of both phones, tablets, servers, routers, and other embedded devices. It isn't babbys first OS. /g/ again proves it knows absolutely nothing about technology.

>>59648344
Pretty sure most people is referring to laptops with optimus for example but yeah, i find much more reliable to swap any part on a linux setup than on a windows one when is about disconnecting the part, the only problematic situation is when you have the nvidia proprietary drivers installed but that'll most probably be fixed by GLNVD.

I don't know why but there is very noticeable lag when I use the RX480 driver. I'm running this on Antergos and it performs slower than my weaker GPU.

woo I'll have to google the GLNVD

I'm waiting for the day that AMD proprietary drivers are good on loonix because I don't like nvidia but I'll keep my 760 for gaymen until the day comes
