Pretty exciting times ahead as Valve might finally release SteamOS to more hardware. This amount of Linux desktop coverage would be unimaginable few years ago.

Your nvidia information might be outdated since driver version 560.x. And I’m getting tired of the anti nvidia circlejerk in the Linux communities on lemmy.
At least Shadow of the Tomb Raider (+20fps) and Cyberpunk (+5fps) run better than they did on windows with the same settings, for me. And those are the only games I tested, because they are the only AAA titles I own that come with a performance test.
I’m not defending nvidia here, there are still issues like missing multi monitor vrr or a few (!) titles that are too broken to play. And it’s not as much of an out of the box experience as it is with AMD.
But for most people that own an nvidia card it’s probably already a good idea to make the switch from windows.
So, to anyone owning a nvidia card having doubts: feel free to try things out!

I’m not calling anyone jerk. I just don’t like that every discussion involves ‘nvidia bad’ on here. That, to me, is a circlejerk. And repeatedly summing up the situation as ‘nvidia is so bad, don’t use it’ puts people off from making the jump and consequently doesn’t help the growth of linux in general, which doesn’t help you, me or anyone else.
If I had feared about nvidia drivers, I wouldn’t have been using Linux for 4 years straight now. Mint supported my 1060 and 2060 before now, PopOS was fantastic aside from a quirk with waking the screens with the 2060, and honestly those issues have worsened with AMD now. Admittedly I haven’t tried much to remedy it as it’s as simple as turning off my monitors.
But if you never try, you can never know 🤷♂️
