From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So NVIDIA just doesn't cut it on Linux/proton I've come to learn. Looking at the best bang//buck, it this the AMD card people are flocking to? 7800 XT maybe?

It's not actually that big a difference. I haven't had as many bugs with my AMD card (7800xt), and i do VRR on Wayland, but some games aren't optimized as well for it as its Nvidia equivalent.
