    Unfortunately, the story is very different when running an Nvidia GPU. I hope the driver situation improves. I really don’t want to use Windows anymore, but the performance difference is just too big. I’m however running Linux on my second (full AMD) system with little to no issues.

      Time will tell, there’s progress towards proper open source drivers for Nvidia now, but I don’t know how long that will take to catch up.
