  • Never heard of IPV6 affecting what websites can and can’t do, sounds wrong to me.

    How to get it depends entirely on your ISP. Some ISPs provide 4 and 6, one or the other being the default, some ISPs don’t have 6 at all. If your ISP already provides it then first you would need a compatible router, Windows should adjust automatically.

  • Since you covered AMD and not Nvidia: pre 1650 cards are completely unsupported (some distros keep old drivers in their repos, for how long - nobody knows), RTX20xx is like a corncob up your ass on Linux, RTX30xx and above start to handle things better, with RTX30xx losing up to 20% of performance and 50xx about 5-10%, in extreme cases (iirc The Last of Us) you will be lucky to break 20 FPS. There’s no Nvidia App, no Broadcast App either. There are currently a few versions of drivers, open source (not made by Nvidia), half open (made by Nvidia) and fully closed source (made by Nvidia), which only adds to the annoyance, as some drivers might work better for certain games, but obliterate performance in others, not to mention random crashing issues.

  • I’m using GTX980 on CachyOS with non open 580.142 driver which gets installed automatically if you are on an older Nvidia card, it works perfectly fine.

    Nouveau driver crashes when anything more complex than a wallpaper is trying to render (literally, even context menus and taskbar icon names).

    Did not try the open version.

    Worth mentioning, Cachy and most other distros seem to use Nouveau in their live ISOs, so you’ll have to use nomodeset on Cachy and an alternative way to boot without GPU drivers on other distros.
