Yes, I had issues. I have a 3080 and some recent generation i5, 32gb ram. I'm sure I just need some configuration for my video card or something. It just takes about 5 seconds to boot into windows with nvme sticks. Every game works perfectly every time. I can't be bothered.
Got it. I suspect it's something related to nvidia tbh. Their Linux support leaves a lot to be desired. Valve's (and many other's) work on Steam Deck or Steam Deck adjacent stuff has made the AMD world a lot more Linux friendly as a result. I'm on an all-AMD system (Ryzen 5 7600X, RX 6600XT) which is probably why I've had a very smooth time.
But totally understand not wanting to waste time with it if Windows is still working fine. I think that will be harder to do, however, as MS continues to move down the path of OS as a service.
