Thanks for this!

Out of interest, how is the driver support for Nvidia cards? This is the thing that has always put me off bailing on Windows for games.

Bazzite works wonderfully even for non techy types. On mobile at least, NV drivers are working well but there is a performance penalty. Surprisingly, when the windows drivers are CPU limited, the linux one is actually performs better but, generally, there is a performance penalty on linux. AMD GPUs have parity except for Raytracing, at least from what I've seen, RADV performs below the proprietary driver on Windows.

Thanks for the reply and good to know !

The types of games I tend to play, I don’t think a slight performance hit will really matter. Definitely going to have a look into Bazzite this weekend ;)

Bazzite comes with Nvidia support out of the box.

Awesome, thanks for this…. Will 100% look into it this weekend ;)

I'm not personally running Bazzite, but before I switched to an AMD card, Nvidia worked just fine for me. Bazzite being more streamlined and gaming-specific, I can only imagine it would do perfectly well running Nvidia.
