Is Linux gaming only workable if you have an AMD GPU? I was bummed to hear its not viable with a NVIDIA card

Edit: I'm referring to this recent Gamers Nexus video where they tested Bazzite. My SO says that the 1% lows are a deal breaker? I'm not very savvy with the specifics. I really wanted to install Bazzite but SO told me that its not viable yet.

Most NVidia cards work well. Nobody will recommend them because NVidia is known to pull the rug out of your perfectly working card all the time, and being completely aggressive against people trying to make the cards work without by their own.

And some updates just break because they don't include all packages for al versions of their driver. I updated a Ubuntu from 560 to 570 and I got a non responding graphic card and error missing the package nvidia-fs. I had to upgrade to 580 even if it it the latest and more buggy version

it works like a charm with my rtx2060 and the new rtx2080

there's several distros with a focus on gaming like steamos and bazzite. I personally use cachyos as it worked right out of the box without installing any drivers.

I have a 3090 ti without any issues

Just make a live boot drive and try it out! Maybe get a little partition setup. I’ve been running Kubuntu for 3 weeks just fine! I am tech savvy though, but most of the things I needed to be savvy at were only because my PC is also my media server. It was less than 1.5 hours to set up gaming and all my window management options and whatnot. And now everything just works.

I’m running a 3060 with CachyOS and no issues. Mint however gave me some problems. Fixable problems, but problems still. CachyOS worked straight out of the box.

It works fine for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. There’s a slight performance loss on Nvidia cards but not enough that you will ever notice.

I have 1065 Ti without any issues. The "nvidia not compatible" sentiment is outdated and they started playing ball recently by working on open source drivers. Nvidia is huge in the AI space and AI computing is pretty much 100% Linux.

There are gaming issues though on Linux in the form of anti-cheat systems, but other than that running things with Steam Proton just works although specific games that use obscure windows APIs might not be as performant.

Dirt 3 used the NTsynch for the NTFS filesystem and once it got fixed the frame rate saw a massive jump for example.

Long term people are supporting Linux gaming a lot more since it's already 3% of the playerbase and requires pretty minimal effort for added 3% audience to make Steam Proton play work. Also with the release of the Steam Machine 2026 is going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop™
