Got it. I suspect it's something related to nvidia tbh. Their Linux support leaves a lot to be desired. Valve's (and many other's) work on Steam Deck or Steam Deck adjacent stuff has made the AMD world a lot more Linux friendly as a result. I'm on an all-AMD system (Ryzen 5 7600X, RX 6600XT) which is probably why I've had a very smooth time.

But totally understand not wanting to waste time with it if Windows is still working fine. I think that will be harder to do, however, as MS continues to move down the path of OS as a service.
