I have been using linux with a 1060 for 4 years almost 5, and it isn't that bad now, tho you need to make a lot of compromise!
At the beginning I experiencing a lot of graphical glitches! Like screen flipping when using an app that used a lot of gpu power or app going black after doing soo!
To this day on that pc I still experience black bars on the sides of apps and as even stated by doitsujin (dxvk creator):
Low D3D12 performance on Nvidia Pascal (and older) GPUs is expected and likely won't improve much. The hardware has a bunch of limitations that make it very hard to extract good performance. Turing fares better, but only AMD actually runs reasonably well right now.
The 980Ti as stated by the Dirk's comment use Maxwell architecture, I'm not able to find any end of support date on the site, so I'm not sure when they will drop support.
Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?
Unfortunately you don't need to wait to see this happens, because it's already happening right now, indeed dx12 games have a lot of problems running on this older cards on linux, and I myself experienced this with my 1060 first with cyberpunk 2077 and after that with resident evil 2 remastered.

No problem always a pleasure!

As an Italian I'm pretty much sure I have never seen a pasta recipe other than "pasta fredda" with candy corn in it!
OpenOffice 💀 Dude that thing doesn't get a proper update since 2014, the most they do today is code style changes!
Indeed the libreoffice team wrote them a letter in 2020 about this: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/
Not even no surprise?

And all of this on xorg to be clear! On the other hand I have an amd laptop with an igpu where I can safely say my experience was almost flawless!
As a 1060 owner I'm gonna tell you this is probably the case only for newer gpus!
Strange the latest release was 2 weeks ago: https://github.com/brunodev85/winlator/releases/tag/v10.1.0
Has you can see gta san andreas (pc version) running on a Samsung galaxy tab s9 with winlator

There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same
So, are these the so-called 0-days everybody talks about on windows and linux?
(This is a joke for everybody not getting it)
