How's the 3070 going on Linux? I've been away from desktop Linux since ~2006 or so but find myself extremely tempted to go back lately, just I have a 3070 too (with a mild undervolt so it doesn't sound like a leaf blower) and have always heard negative things about Nvidia drivers and performance over there.

It worked well for me. I've heard the same stories and understand in some cases a the better version of a driver ends up being an older one, instead of the latest, so there are some quirks. But the games I tried all got great performance.

Experience will vary widely by game, however. From the lookups I've done on ProtonDB so far, I do understand in some titles I may lose some fps- but it's yet to have been a big enough hit to bother me
