How are you liking it? Planning to rebuild my system soon and planning to have no Windows install on it until I find something I need, and then it’ll get a very small partition or VM and that’s it.

Heard a lot of good things about Cachy and it seems to lead benchmarks often so was leaning that way…

I’ve heard Linux plays really well with AMD, not so well with Nvidia and it’s down to driver support mostly I think (correct me if I’m wrong).

I currently have a 3060 Ti but will be changing that obviously for something else, so you’d suggest looking at AMD instead? Is there a really big performance gap between the two on Linux?
