From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Literally Intel or AMD. You may pick Intel dGPU as well.
That's not the best idea. Performances are not even close of what they are on Windows
Also there's an idle power draw issue which can sometimes be fixed on windows but not on linux
Personal experience or rumors? First link I found says it's slightly(4%) better than on windows.
Can you share how to fix it? What to write in which registers?
Upd: just set scaling governor to powersave, lol
Your link is for an iGPU
Here for Intel Arc
From January but it hasn't improved all that much
The fix for power consumption is changing a setting for ASPM in motherboard (if it supports it) and pluging the monitor in the motherboard directly. It worked for me on windows but not on linux (no workaround AFAIK) This means 40W idling instead of 1W
You need CONFIG_PCIEASPM in kernel for ASPM support
