Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even with a similar environment (Debian + Steam). I may consider buy specific graphic card to stay on linux, but I couldn't find any clue to know which one are more adapted.

Thx for your leads !

If using a somewhat modern distro, this isn't an issue anymore (unless you run a really old OpenGL game).

I run my PC in this way with little to no performance degradation: monitors go to my motherboard (r5 2400g CPU with vega11 iGPU) and games use my RX 5700XT without having to do anything at all... Pretty smart handling tbh

That is, because supposedly that limitation still affects Windows. Do you use supergfxctl?

I'm running vanilla Fedora 40. Haven't installed that, and just checked and it's not even on fedora's repos

I just remembered that that package isn't compatible with Plasma 6 (yet), so maybe it got dropped from the official repos when they officially released 40.
