I prefer to use linux Mint 20.3 for my primary Operating System. I have Windows 10 as a secondary on most of my computers. When using Firestorm, there is a dramatic increase in performance on Mint. The increase can be as much as 47% in favor of linux. Another interesting result is that a GTX 1080 8G video card, out performs an RTX 3080 10G video card in these test results in Windows AND Mint. OpenGL is not optimized very well on RTX 30xx GPUs.
