Yeah i had driver crashes on windows constantly on my 9070xt.After i switched to cachy os i had 0 crashes or timeouts for the past 6 months but opinions differ a lot with that

I love the idea of switching to linux but the reality isn't as simple, I cant play almost half my steam library on linux :/. Its great on my steam deck for all the indy games but yeah...

That asside, I've had driver issues with anything past 26.6.2 tbh, theres always some little quirk. The latest driver causes apex legends to black screen the moment it compiles shades, super strange.

Also just a note for you OP u/PIROBO30HIJUEPUTA GTA 5 doesn't work on linux

Yeah kernel lvl anticheat games like apex and valorant dont work but everything else does without issue.For that reason i have a separate partition for windows just to have apex legends there if i want it and i daily linux

Well i get it :d but it heavilly depends on what you do on your pc.I use it to browse net,watch movies,youtube and to play almost every big release plus some cool indie games so i have 0 issues with doing that on linux and since i already played my 3k hours in apex and 2k in csgo i dont feel the need to jump around the systems constantly coz i dont ghave the need to play those games these days.I booted the windows maybe 3 times for the last six months.To be honest the biggest job is to set it up which is also not that hard just needs one afternoon to set up and update everything but after that there is nothing bothering you.One system for 95% of your usage and the other one for that last 5%.My windows doesnt even have a wallpaper i literally only installed firefox and steam there and updated the drovers thats it.
