Alright, I installed Linux.
What now? I don't notice that much of a difference other than a bunch of games not working properly until I look up a guide how to unfuck it and the other rest not working at all

dont run games natively on linux if they dont explicitly support it.
spin up a quemu vm with windows installed and pass through your graphics card.
its how i do it.
i have a two ssds in my pc. one has my linux install and one has windows installed. i have a quemu vm running off that windows install just for gaming. i have a bunch of games on my linux install too but most i just run on windows. i also havea 870gtx that i pass through and like 8 cores of my r5 1600 and 8 gigs of my 16gigs that i also give to the vm.
shit just works and runs like a dream and i get to have the best of both worlds.

Now you help make other games work for Linux

Why have a VM when you have Windows installed anyways?
What?

>a huge chunk of games worth playing on steam already work natively

LMAOing at your life.

>Linux "gaming"
the only Linux distro worth a shit in regards to gaming is Android

so it runs in a virtualized environment and does not affect the rest of my system in any way.
also windows has this nasty habit of overwriting the bootloader of all hard drives it can find everytime it updates.
im tired of running super grub disc every time that happens.

did you have to do anything to get your nivida card to work in the VM? I was trying to get it set up the other day and it kept failing to graphics card drivers within the VM.

nope had no issues really. all i had to do make sure the pci-e lanes are in their proper iommu groupings.
thats probably your issue. you can do it as a kernel module or via simple grub edit.
im running arch linux and using qemu and had to do nothing except enable virtualization for my cpu in my bios. my iommu groups were already set up from the get go.
