Or Nvidia GPU owners because Nvidia is fine on Windows but sucks on Linux.

I'm using kde5 on X. To my knowledge, the only issues you might have with Nvidia on Linux is if you want to use Wayland instead of X. Unless you are someone who refuses to use non-free drivers for philosophical reasons, but then you wouldn't be using Windows.

I've been running an Nvidia GPU for over 6 years now on Linux without issues.

I even am using a fairly recent 4070ti and was able to use it with proprietary drivers soon after launch and was running cyberpunk 2077 at 4k with high settings and ray tracing with an average 60fps with dsr.

I also use the cuda cores for running open source llms locally and have no issues there either.

using XWayland loads games fine for me in Wayland :)

So present-day technology instead of legacy crap.

Nothing wrong with using present-day technology as software if you want to use present-day graphics cards, is there?

Ummm...you think windows isn't legacy?

On windows they make you install their annoying software to do driver updates and it sends random notifications and has a bunch of ads and other things I don't want when installing software.
