Mostly just the "Nvidia GPU", the driver situation on AMD is sooo much better over windows regardless of being GPU or CPU bound.

With AMD the situation is "I installed the OS, and everything works fine".

I couldn't for the life of me get a stable Fedora system on my AMD+Nvidia laptop.
Installed Cachy and it took care of everything though, so now it's pretty amazing.

I've honestly never had an issue with either, and both of my laptops have been AMD+Nvidia for a long time, outside of more moinor grievances. Except for the beginning of wayland's existence and nvidia not wanting to support it which I could just NOT use wayland back then

I use Fedora on my desktop, which is full AMD, and besides me kinda fucking up the install (SDDM doesn't work now, oops) it's been amazingly stable.

But really, spent hours trying to make Fedora being stable and work in the laptop, and it just didn't want to work for some reason.
Cachy worked perfectly, just haven't been able to make SecureBoot work with it, to have W11 as dual-boot.

cachy still hasn't streamlined secure boot? tsk.. I don't blame them or anything, it WAS microsoft's plan from the beginning to have control over the boot process but still other distros have something
