I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, but there are some things that make me want to stay on Windows. For example, Gaming and installation of graphics card and software availability.

My G-Card was GT 730 2 GB ddr5.

Can I be able to play the games that Windows supported without losing frames?

    I’d advise to quit gaming and do more work. Then, Linux has no problem. Gaming keeps you poor and lazy.

      Oh yes, god forbid anyone take any downtime. I can’t believe all these people waste so much time on recreation! Start working the moment you get up! Work until you go to bed! If you’re not putting in a 100+ hour workweek, you’re just a lazy piece of shit.

      I mean, I’m abjectly miserable and I’ll be dead well before retirement age, but at least I’m not lazy!

        Your choice. But you could go for a run instead of gaming or mow the lawn, make your front yard look nicer, start a YouTube channel or a website for some interest, learn to code and write a passion project, do some creative writing and publish your first 200 page novel; the list is endless. All of those things are work, but most things in that list are FUN. Sometimes downtime can be spent working. I spend my time reading and contributing to Wikipedia and supporting FOSS projects like this fantastic social media site! Because… this site doesn’t throw shit at me with intent to grab my attention with some advanced creepy algorithm. The code is publicly available. These fediverse socials are the only ones that aren’t extremely harmful.

          There are more useful hobbies than gaming, if guess. But you mentioned a novel. Novels are fiction and therefore reading them is a waste of time.

          Enjoyment is a perfectly good reason to do a thing.

          And nobody’s advocating for Facebook here, so that horse manure is 100% beside the point.

          You could also do a run rather than waste time commenting on here. Obviously you are enjoying your free time in some way, so stop gatekeeping what others should be allowed to do in theirs.

      Work keeps you poor and lazy

      Gaming keeps you poor and lazy

      Being on a social media keeps you poor and lazy

      Random general statements with little easily provable truth to them.
