i run dual-boot on my PC, these days i'm only switching over to windows for gaming since ~~nvidia GPUs don't get a lot of support on the linux side~~ nvidia doesn't go out of there way to support linux as much as AMD does
First time I'm hearing about this. What do you mean? You get regular, automatic driver updates and they work... what is missing?
Older drivers for older cards are also available, although this may depend on the distribution rather than Nvidia.
Vulkan is basically unsupported by nVidia on anything before the 20-series on Linux. My 1060 6GB can only manage around 4-5 FPS at 1080p in some games as a result while others work totally fine. In addition, the drivers aren't open source, so no one can go in and fix that problem.
