I changed my main machine over to Linux in the beginning of April, setting it up on its own NVMe so I could keep my other drive with Windows 10 intact and dual boot when needed.
I’ve been having a blast - ricing hyprland, better workflows, great gaming experiences.
Then yesterday I realized that I hadn’t actually bothered to dual boot once since testing out the Windows entry in my systemd-boot menu when I first set it up.
Guess who just gained a 1TB drive to install more games?
I wiped out the Windows drive with no remorse. Damn, that felt good.
Goodbye Windows, you won’t be missed.
I’ve kinda been putting off switching to Linux until the steam OS goes to desktops more officially, since it’s pretty close to just being used as a gaming rig, but I’m running out of patience. I had Ubuntu for a while like 15 years ago.
How are the drivers for a 1060 GPU?
Nvidia drivers are a bit more of a hassle than amd but apparently bazzite does a good job at working out of the box with nvidia.
Bazzite has a version for legacy Nvidia GPUs (including the 10xx series). I would start there.
SteamOS, even if it releases anytime soon, most likely will not support your GPU.
I really thought that particular card would get patched in. It was so popular and a lot of machines from that timeframe aren’t win 11 supported.
