I've been using Nvidia cards for decades. They work perfectly fine and I'm able to play without a hitch. Sorry to hear about your experience but it's not the norm.
I also use Nvidia GPUs on Windows. The thing is that They tend to have driver issues on Linux.
I'm also very disappointed with the closed architecture of their software, their recent price hiking in Europe and the fact that they stop supporting older GPUs
TL'DR. I don't have a bad experience on Windows. At the same time it's hard to switch to Linux, they dont have open source drivers and they don't have long term support for their products by turning them obsolete through software
Do you use a tower ? Maybe that the hybrid part (I mostly tried on différents laptop with primus) which never work for me. Or may be the games I play. I tried Warframe, star trek online and planetside2 and my computer freeze after some time. I tried to wait 30 minutes, nothing. I tried to get some dump, no errors... I dislike windows and I try to migrate regularly but I have to go back to windows.
