Fortunately, this fucking windows partition I only keep for VR with my shitty Oculus Rift CV1 reminds me how fucked up the alternative is. I can’t fucking wait to get a Steam Frame and ditch it.

    I assume you switched out your GPU for one of the same chip manufacturer? (AMD>AMD or NVIDIA>NVIDIA)
    Then the linux scenario would very realistic, otherwise very much not.

        Finally i can say the same for me too :) I just didnt have a reason to upgrade from my perfectly good 1070 because i wasnt playing any heavy games. Now i have an inherited 6950xt which is a fuckin beast of a gpu :D

      I switched from Nvidia to AMD with no issue. It probably wouldn’t be as easy the other way around though.

        Yeah it also depends on how you installed the drivers. Some methods are super easy to uninstall but others are catastrophically complicated.

          I never bothered to remove the Nvidia drivers. The kernel won’t load the kernel module if it doesn’t detect the card, and the gl/vk loaders correctly load the right implementations for the new card, so i never saw a need to remove them other than an extra download and dkms step when I do an update.
