Wouldn't you have an easier time if you swapped out the 3060 for a comparable AMD?
Would you recommend me getting an AMD GPU? Is the driver better under Linux?
Yes. AMDs usually work out of the box in Linux and provide the full performance a card is capable of. Even though I run Linux, I haven't gamed for a while now. This community might be able to present their personal experience with particular models.
I had a look on this and unfortunately, only comparable AMDs (RX 7600) exist in that size. I wish I could do an upgrade with my next card, but since I want to switch to a tiny "portable" PC case, I am limited to small GPUs. That's why I'd like to try it first with the GPU I am currently runnning on (actually the only part I want to reuse from my current build, lol)
