I think Windows does some things well, that are just worse in KDE
Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Taskmanager is actually privileged and can force close running apps. On KDE the same apps exist but they are not privileged enough. EDIT: of course it is privileged, but it doesnt even open if the “Desktop” hangs. There seems to be no privilege isolation, nothing left as security space for these tasks.
The UI is more stable, the bars dont weirdly load, App Windows just open in full size and not fly around. When an app crashes I can still use the cursor (often)
The Rest is crap, like everything. Updates are horrible and intrusive without a single reason. Immutable updates are so much better, regular Linux Distros probably cant compare regarding security.
@JokeDeity Seeing a device called "Bluez" trying to connect to your computer (in some undefined way) doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with bluez.
The cache matters a lot. That’s basically why the x3d chips are so great at gaming. With over clocking you’ll always get a lower clock than the stock boost clock with these newer chips. That’s why PBO (precision boost overdrive) in combination with CO (curve optimiser) will give the most performance. Both chips can do this.
I’ve been running a 6700xt for the last year and a half and it’s been great! Plays everything I want at high/ultra 1080p, anywhere from 160-240FPS depending on the game and settings.
I record gameplay no problem too with OBS. I’m on Nobara Linux, a gaming-focused Fedora Distro, haven’t had a single issue so far with it.
I am assuming you currently use linux. Do you currently use CUDA with freecad and solidworks(which I am assuming you use through WINE or a VM). AMD generally has better raw performance at same price but has nothing equivalent to CUDA at this point. There is ROCm and plans for CUDA through ROCm but GPU support for ROCm is hit or miss. You also have openCL but performance is nowhere near as good as using CUDA even if the GPU using CUDA is weaker. AMD. will provide a much better gaming and day to day usage experience though

Earlier this year I was given one of those XPS machines with Ubuntu and decided to install Debian on it. The camera driver was so bad - I can’t remember technical details but you can’t simply get it to run on another kernel, it was a mess of hacks to get it to work. I decided I won’t get a camera driver. “We ship a laptop with Ubuntu” does not necessarily mean working Linux drivers.
EDIT: To add insult to injury, the touch bar suddenly decided to stop responding to input. It’s already bad enough to not have tactile feedback for Esc / Fn keys / Delete / Print Screen.
You needed: kernel driver, closed source userspace driver, GStreamer plugin, v4l2 loopback driver, v4l2 relay daemon copying frames from the GStreamer source into v4l2 loopback. Technically I could have made it work, I just decided not to.
