Gigabyte 4080, I've had that with an AMD card also but that was an entirely different issue with actual breaking drivers for AMD. I've mentioned here before but to make it short: my hw combination apparently caused random driver crashes, no matter what distro. I even deleted my old Arch setup I have had to years to no avail. Put in an old GTX I still had laying about-> worked. So I got an nvidia card to replace my old Vega.
IMHO Linux seems more open with hardware issues than Windows is and, mind you Windows has issues. Anyone saying otherwise is lying, especially because they don't seem to do any QA anymore. It's why I switched in the first place: it kept having issues, once deleted a whole drive for me and so on.
Dual booting I fucking hate. I kinda wish I accommodated for 2 GPUs or one CPU with onboard graphics then I could just pass through and have some level of compatibility.
Personally I would get a laptop you enjoy and install Linux on there. I started dual booting and still have a barely ever used Windows drive.
