I have been thinking on dropping Windows, that I use only for gaming, but the issue is that I got a Nvidia graphics card and didn't have time to check if the support for it in Linux got better

But after experiencing the new Windows 11 "always-online" model it might make me stick to AMD in the future

While I would like to champion AMD a bit more because Nvidia has been doing some anti consumer shenanigans, I have to say that at this point, the Linux support is good. It is a bit of a myth or perhaps just outdated info that if you want to have a headache-less experience, you need to use AMD. For new hardware, it may even be a bit better than AMD to be honest.

The only difference is that updating is a bit easier on AMD, after all, mesa just updates with your OS. But this is merely a note on convenience.
