Godot is primarily developed on Linux, but I recently tried it out on Ubuntu (NVIDIA drivers) to check compatibility, and it was shockingly laggy. Worse than macOS, and far worse than Windows, where it runs quite well.
Maybe there was something about my configuration I could've tweaked to mitigate the lag, but I have zero interest in fiddling with Linux. That stuff's fun if your goal is to learn about the OS, but absolutely intolerable if you just wanna get work done.
I can’t speak to Godot specifically, but a recent switch from Nvidia to AMD on my Ubuntu machine magically fixed a whole bunch of random jankiness that I wouldn’t otherwise have assumed was directly related to the GPU. Beforehand I would have said that running on Nvidia was “just fine”–I only switched because I got a good deal on an AMD card, but it has been a great improvement.
