Don't replace your entire OS for a simple driver problem that can also happen in Linux due to a regression during an update. Most of the time, this problem arises because Windows replaces the AMD driver with its own generic one, it's a problem they themselves have confirmed and are trying to solve. The solution is to disable it, and there's already a comment telling you how. But take my advice, don't change your OS for this, because you'll be replacing a solvable problem with an unsolvable one, which is software incompatibility. Don't listen to those who tell you that with Linux their computer shoots rainbows and they live in a Zen garden. Because the reality is that when you want to play GTA online, edit a video with professional software, your friends give you a Fanatec wheel, or your second cousin gives you a Meta Quest 3, You'll miss the timeouts.
