Arch and other Linux operating systems Beat Windows 11 in Gaming Benchmarks::ComputerBase benchmarked three different Linux operating systems and found that all three can achieve better gaming performance than Windows 11.
The reason is very simple, Arch has tons of software & all available in it’s repository (need more software you can check AUR)
The other reason is flexing to other users
For NVIDIA case it’s not that hard especially if you know what you doing, if you’re newbie you can use Garuda Linux & it will detect and install NVIDIA driver it self for you
NVidia has a pretty good capture on the gaming market. Especially during the 980/1080 generations. I’ve also seen a ton of non media people insist on NVidia cuz of shadowplay.
This is speculation, but I don’t think most new Linux users are building computers specifically for Linux. They’re letting their computers age, then considering Linux when they see the cost of the new generation of NVidia hardware.
Let us not overestimate the general publics knowledge of hardware compatibility and operating systems in general. I think they conceptualize it like replacing a brick in a Lego wall. They’d have no reason to suspect it wouldn’t work.
Do you know of any guides to getting started with Arch?
I’ve been wanting to switch for a while but the challenge is daunting and I am very tech literate.
I’ll second EndeavorOS.
Also, the Arch wiki is well known as one of the most comprehensive guides for any Linux distro. It’s massive.
Endeavour os is arch for novices or try archinstall script
