I also wonder how much of it is RADV vs AMDGPU drivers. Wonder what the result would have been if the Deck used the AMDGPU drivers instead. Saying it is just "the magic of Linux" papers over a lot.
I think it doesn't really matter, in the end the question is, do I get a better experience as a consumer on Linux or Windows?
