I haven’t seen a recent post about this.

This is a handy tool to have for anyone sick of Microsoft’s shit and those who are slowly transitioning out of their ecosystem. It forces Windows to open your default browser instead of Edge every time you accidentally click on certain links in the Start menu, the toolbar widget, or open the help page by pressing F1.

It’s simple to install and also lets you customize other actions shown below:

      That’s easy to say, but not everyone has the luxury of switching to Linux and investing the time in troubleshooting it. I can’t even develop my plugins properly on Linux as it is, and I’ve already spent too much time trying.

        The people working on Nobara project have done 95% of the troubleshooting. Ive yet to have any issues since switching, even added a video capture card in a windows system and it didn’t work, put it on my sys running nobara and it worked after booting.

        Fix the half-assed HDR support, and port the Nvidia App and Nvidia Control Panel. Then, and only then, will I finally switch.

          Nvidia porting their apps is on them. They could make it open source, like AMD, but until then I’d recommend not buying their hardware if you can avoid it. They make everything proprietary, so you’re shit out of luck if you want something they don’t care about.

            I wish I could switch back to AMD GPUs, but unfortunately I like Ray Tracing and RTX HDR way too much to go back. But in the 2000s and early 2010s AMD/ATi was my GPU maker of choice.

              AMD does raytracing too. Nvidia has a slight lead for RTX, but my AMD card handles basically all the raytracing needs I have. The only time it hasn’t been sufficient is with CP2077, but I don’t even think the best Nvidia cards can max everything out on that yet, especially with mods.

                Yeah but I play at 4K and don’t accept anything less than 90-120 FPS (with DLSS, of course, since no GPU can handle native 4K gaming). Nothing from AMD can keep up with my 4090 in the RT department without sacrificing FPS, despite it being 2 years old now.

                  Sure, if you’re spending the price of a single computer on just the GPU then yeah, Nvidia has the best (only) option. For everything/everyone else, AMD is perfectly competitive. Personally, almost all the games that use the power my GPU has I don’t care for. It’s only the AAA games that really push my card usually, and they’re boring as hell, though they do look pretty —if only that made the game fun…
