Are you sure that the DX12 performance loss is already addressed on Nvidia GPUs? Do you have a source?

They are the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA that should now “just work” across kernel upgrades (like AMD has forever).
Are you sure that is how it works for AMD in Linux?
I’d go with Linux, no matter what, but this seem exactly why I feel that we should be more clear. People may be building some PCs out there to use Linux for gaming and buying Nvidia because others keep saying that everything is smooth sails with Nvidia. A lot of it is working now but there are some downsides and the recommendation is to go with AMD if you can.
There isn’t a global 30% performance loss. There are specific games/configurations that have performance issues and bugs, but it isn’t all games.
That was not what I said. I don’t recall saying that there is a global 30% performance loss. I’m sorry if I gave margin for that interpretation.
There are always bugs and performance issues that appear and get fixed, that’s the nature of Linux.
This one in particular seem to be taking some time for Nvidia to fix.
This is not the case now, NVIDIA works without major issues.
I don’t think I was implying that it doesn’t work. My point is that for certain games that relies on certain technologies the Nvidia drivers are not optimized to reach Windows level or even AMD level on Linux for equivalents cards. It may worth reviewing the Nvidia forum link that I posted first.
I still give the benefit of the doubt that I may be missing something and need to learn better something although I’m not following your reasoning completely.
Finally, I just want to also point that I don’t have strings attached to any GPU maker. I wish we had more options but it sounds that if we want something reasonable with good open source driver support for many different types of combinations of games, hardware and technology, AMD seems our only choice in Linux given this incidental bad performance present on DX12 combined with Nvidia GPUs on Linux.
So are you saying that those are false claims?

Sorry the Reddit links: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1nr4tva/does_the_nvidia_dx12_bug_20ish_performance_loss/
As you can see people report this from 2 years ago and also 14 days ago.
I agree with that, because there is no offering from AMD to compete with the high-end Nvidia absolute performance GPU.
This is the biggest hurdle nowadays with Nvidia:
NVIDIA GPUs generally experience a performance penalty when running DirectX 12 games on Linux, with reports indicating a drop of 15-30% compared to Windows. This is largely attributed to driver optimizations and the overhead from using translation layers like Proton and Wine.
This seems, stink and feel like dogshit
I wish I’d have gone with Jellyfin when I migrated from Plex. I’m on Emby, it has a few features that I like that are not available in Jellyfin.
If it is a little home server Proxmox is difficult to beat.
If you need it for Android, I tried quite a few. I had the same requisites, offline, lyrics for flac files, I ended up using Metro: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.Music/
Very minimalist and do the job very well. I use the field"Composer" to sort my lists.
The way that I see, Linux phones will only get traction when we are able to install android apps and use high end spec phones with good security. I hope that I’m wrong.

Stayed here for the polemic.
Searching the wallpaper, now.
Not exactly a product from ublue but something in the same line:
Secureblue because of the reasons aforementioned for the ublue images where things are really darn rock solid out of the box AND because Linux is fundamentally behind in security and this project is trying to mitigate some of the big flaws.
I’m not a KDE user, is it possible to have the upper bar all the way up without showing the wallpaper above?
Hey, funny that you mentioned the Thinkpad. I’m between getting a Thinkpad and the Framework 13. Would you perhaps share things that for your personal preference were downsides in the Thinkpad?
Is this kind of an alternative to Stremio?
Nice! I wonder if Rust was considered
Should it be here?
Do we see this very often with APK repos? I mean, for those using Obtainium to download apps from Github can one get malware via malicious apks?
I feel that “works” is a very broad term. It can work but doesn’t mean that it will perform even or better in a good amount of games compared to Nvidia on Windows or AMD in Linux or Windows. Issues depends on specific games that one plays, one may be playing games that aren’t prone for those issues reported.
