i have both a gaming laptop with nvidia gpu and a steam deck, and the steam deck manages to outperform the laptop with linux even though the laptop is orders of magnitude more powerful (on windows it easily beats the steam deck).
so yes, amd is a lot more optimized for linux than nvidia and i know many people who wouldn’t surrender half of their fps for some privacy/freedom.
Not anymore. I’d say there has been massive improvements in the last 3-5 years for Nvidia. This was one of the main reasons I didn’t swap over sooner.
Guess stop this nonsense. There are plenty of Nvidia issues.
funny how this is downvoted so much even though it’s the sad truth
What nonsense? I’ve used nvidia since the early 2000s. There are no more issues than AMD right now.

I have an nvidia pc with Linux on it and a steam deck. My PC out performs the steam deck by a large margin. I use stock drivers, no fancy tweaks.
probably the difference betweem a laptop and desktop gpu
It’s 2026. I still am yelled at by nerds about issues in Linux that apparently didn’t exist 🤣
You people are the reason Linux will never be mainstream. The inability to admit any sort of bug or luck or driver support from a nerd is astounding.
I know I know, get a different distro and I’m holding it wrong.
Who’s yelling at you?
