    I would use Linux but my graphics card only has nouveau drivers in Linux and that’s a lot worse than Nvidia drivers in Windows 10. Same for some older ATI/AMD cards that still pack a punch in Windows with the official drivers but aren’t supported in Linux in official drivers.

      Out of curiosity, what GPU do you have that is not decently supported? Both the latest AMD and NVidia stuff is, at least for the general public stuff.

        I will have a look and get back to you.

        I must admit however that I have had a change of mind after my comment and that it may have been a failure on my end. I think I may have overlooked an option for at least one of my cards, and I have since also found a guide that uses a PPA in Ubuntu.

        Also besides this I have some really old (pci-express) graphics cards in active use because they are better than onboard and the pc’s are still fast enough. But it would be nice to get those working with official drivers (even if older) so that some simpler games like FlatOut 1 & 2 can still be played on them.
