Something to note: if you're VRAM limited, Linux will perform worse and it's an actual issue.
Especially on laptops, where VRAM is halved in comparison to desktop models for whatever reason.
My Dell Inspiron showed me how worthless discrete GPUs are in laptops, so I'm powerful desktop + enough laptop to run Firefox now.
Yeah gaming on laptops only makes sense with streaming from a PC that has an actual GPU and an actual cooling solution. Or super simple stuff like papers please or ftl or something
