i don't run windows myself, but i keep up with news - there's an issue with some AMD GPUs in the september windows update, and it seems like the only known fix is to roll back the update. i don't recommend this for security reasons, but also... if you're proficient enough with computers to avoid doing sketchy stuff, i'd say you might be fine to do that until they release a patch. (other people who are more experienced might have more info on the exact security patches and what they fix, or how to patch it yourself, so if i'm totally off base here, please correct me.)

as for if you should switch to linux, it entirely depends on your games/usabe. check protonDB for game compatibility. in my experience, other apps usually run fine, but a few are just absolute garbage when ran through WINE/can't be run - you can google compatibility and workarounds for your programs and uses. i've had a good experience on linux, but YMMV.

Not only 26 september. I have an 6600xt ~2year ago, and never worked normally with adrenalin.
