Nice! So long as i can still play with by siblings on some private games ill be ok.
Do note that generally speaking an AMD gpu on Linux vs Windows similarly. You can maybe expect a 1-2 FPS downgrades on average but it really depends on the game.
On the other hand, NVIDIA gpus have a bit more FPS disadvantage but it's still not a major drawback I think? Idk how much is the fps difference
1-2 FPS‽ The horror! faints
Jokes aside I can see more of a difference than that by simply forgetting to close a few tabs of YouTube before starting my games. Or even starting a game when my room is already hot.
1-2 FPS is basically a rounding error IMO.
In my experience, Nvidia drivers work just fine. They're just proprietary, and once in a while they release a faulty driver (which you can just roll back ofc). Happened to me a couple of times over the past.. 14 years, fuck
Really sets the expectations from Nvidia.
Back when I switched to Linux, Nvidia worked much better than AMD cards, but everyone hates them for not providing open source drivers, understandably
