From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am looking for help with switching from Windows to Linux (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

@Harry_h0udini@lemmy.dbzer0.com, in case you don't know, DirectX (just like 'Vulkan') is a graphics rendering software. It draws graphics. I have seen many people being confused by these terms so I thought I should clarify.

Also here's a video that explains how to dual boot windows and fedora (a pretty good linux distro) or maybe you could use Pop_Os! since they have pretty good nvidia support. I don't know about legacy ones though.
