Is Linux gaming only workable if you have an AMD GPU? I was bummed to hear its not viable with a NVIDIA card
Edit: I’m referring to this recent Gamers Nexus video where they tested Bazzite. My SO says that the 1% lows are a deal breaker? I’m not very savvy with the specifics. I really wanted to install Bazzite but SO told me that its not viable yet.
I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.
AMD is much more reliable and has improved for decades. Nvidia has their proprietary driver and new open source driver. Both work ok, but definitely less good than AMD.
Most NVidia cards work well. Nobody will recommend them because NVidia is known to pull the rug out of your perfectly working card all the time, and being completely aggressive against people trying to make the cards work without by their own.
it works like a charm with my rtx2060 and the new rtx2080
there’s several distros with a focus on gaming like steamos and bazzite. I personally use cachyos as it worked right out of the box without installing any drivers.
Linux runs nvidia fine. It can run most games without a problem. Whether or not it can run a game that’s heavily gatekept is another matter altogether.

I’ve been using Fedora with my RTX 3090 and it works great. I haven’t tried the newer cards, but the 30 series seem to work well in my experience.

I have a 2080 and an Intel CPU – Linux Mint worked perfectly out of the box.
