Also Linux generally had better 1% lows, lower RAM usage, and lower CPU usage. A big part of this is that AMD no longer updates the Windows drivers for the RX 580.

Idk how trustworthy this youtube channel is, but crazy to think the RX 580 released in 2017 and the 8GB version was ~$230 lol

I mean I haven't noticed any real differences and the performance on both have been great. If you're using CachyOS they're in there by default so no need to install something like ProtonUP-QT to easily get the GE protons if you don't want to.
