>use nouveau drivers
screen artifacts, usable but shit
>use nvidia proprietary drivers
idle ram usage in X jumps from ~100MB to 700MB
Use nouveau drivers

>use Windows
everything works. also games, pro software, best battery life
Elijah Martinez
>using Linux
That might be the problem OP.
David Campbell
>use amdgpu drivers + mesa
Everything just werks, only critical bug that I experienced was already patched
>use amdgpu-pro proprietary drivers
Keeps making Plasma and other programs crash, same performance as free drivers
Lucas Torres
it could be worse
you could be using an AMD card
Jaxson Robinson
>ram usage
RAM is cheap and unused RAM is wasted RAM.

Elijah Russell
No longer a problem for GCN cards

dont worry its the same on windows. if you somehow manage to run the card without the nvidia drivers, ofc.

Tyler Ross

>haha i'll get around this by throwing money at my computer
Jeremiah Barnes
Nah bud, it's just that I can afford a CPU made after 2005 where this doesn't matter.
Liam Garcia
>letting niggers waste your resources
>LOL just buy a new computer
You're the reason why technology is shit
Justin Foster
Are you maybe confusing VIRT for RAM, OP?
Christian Morgan
Better than being a poorfag like you. Jealous of my 6800k and my 32GB of RAM ( of which I'm using only 20% of)?
Landon Thomas
>not ECC
No
lmfao @ u poorfag
Connor Reed
>kvetching about 500mb of RAM
Lol like you have ecc homelessfag
Nathaniel Young

I have been using Ubuntu since day one and never have issues that you describe. Compiz takes care of screen tearing and other problems.
Linux is quite is easy to learn, you need patience and use your head a little. After all if you were really that satisfied with Windows, why would you experiment with Linux?
Angel Carter
it's not screen tearing you retard, it's artifacts caused by a bug in the nouveau driver.

>use Intel+AMD laptop
>graphics card switching is impossible
luckily Lincucks has no gaems so I won't even notice
Asher Gray
Holy shit samefag, at least wait longer than the timer to repost you stupid fucking nigger.
