I’ve used Linux as a daily before. Mainly manjaro, but it sounds like Ubuntu might be a good distro for performance. So I’m always thinking about switching back. The reason I switched to windows is because I have intel/nvidia. Recently though I’ve been reading up on the ryzen 7 7800x3d and it sounds like coupling that with a Linux software would get me crazy performance boosts. Additionally, since owning a steam deck, I think I’m okay with downgrading my games a bit with the right hardware and I’ve actually been thinking about selling my desktop.

Right now I have an i7-13700k and an nvidia 3070. But the games I mainly play right now are WoW, League, and age of empire. Beyond that I’ve just been emulating. If we want to talk about actual benchmarks the only AAA titles I’ve wanted to play are Witcher and cyberpunk.

So I ask, should I make the switch? Or should I wait to switch to AMD and then make the switch?

Also sorry in advance if this doesn’t belong here. I didn’t see anything in the rules about it but if it doesn’t belong here I can take this post down.

Edit: also I’m debating between Ubuntu and pop_os if anyone has a suggestion.
