    I’m thinking my next GPU upgrade might be AMD, so i can migrate to Linux. But i bought a used one in 2023, so i gonna wait at least until the next gen comes out.

      As others have said, Nvidia cards are OK in Linux now, though AMD is better assuming you aren’t doing anything AI adjacent with the card.

      nVidia’s fine. Use a distro that keeps fairly current on driver updates like Fedora or Arch.

        I think you lose around 15%+ performance in Linux with a Nvidia card. I tried Nobara and Bazzite and i can confirm it, although i did not make any hardcore benchmarking.

        AMD i think is on par with windows or maybe slightly worse.

          That tracks with what I have seen with my own cards. I suspect some of it is because there were specific driver versions that many distros favored for stability reasons that may have left some performance on the table, but that’s just my personal speculation.
