What would people recommend if the main reason you use windows is gaming? I have an AMD CPU and a Nvidia GPU, if drivers are good etc, which OS would you use
Gaming support on Linux is in a really nice place right now. However, if gaming is the only reason you use a laptop, you should stick with Windows, at least for the time being.
Got a desktop, and can support dual boot (I partitioned my SSD at the start to do it so I could test stuff out).
In terms of an os, which would you recommend
If you mean which Linux distribution I'd recommend for a gaming setup, I'd recommend Ubuntu. Many believe it to be the best for gaming on Linux. It also has a large community, so finding support (should you need it) won't be a problem.
Yeah, basically that, I'll have a go with Ubuntu (I use it for servers usually but never used it for my own gaming setup)
