my gpu is gtx 1650 from laptop msi gf63. im wondering if after 10 years will the gpu still have a driver in linux ? im asking this to know if the life of gpu would be better with linux or windows. it may be an absurd question but it makes sense to me. as if the usecase its to play cyberpunk(yes it does work) on a sepfic version(cracked no updates).

will that version still be useable ten years from now on ubuntu with this laptop?

    I don’t play pirated games, the convenience of “it just works” and accumulating everything on steam directed me that way quite some time ago.

    I’ve heard lutris and friends should make repacks work.

    Edit: also “real games” only don’t work because the manufacturer chose to break it. There’s nothing special about what AAA does, other than abuse their customers. There’s no secret sauce. Only secretive source.
