On some occasions i had something more smooth in Linux than in Windows... we are talking little details here.
For gaming (long story)
For browsing... i tend to use FIREFOX in Linux as it is really smooth lately, better than chromium (based) browsers.
You are talking Windows Edge?
If u care about these little speed things not go for nouveau graphics drivers but the proprietary ones. If u care about absolute open source go for nouveau...
If u sure u feel ok with windows.... stick with it... but i bet ya'r ass not all will be that smooth as u wished.
Why not use DUAL BOOT? windows/linux > gaming/work&mail&surf
i know some guys who just buy a lamer windows pc for their games but they NEVER open any websites or mails on those silly thing... for that they use their Linux laptops or whateva
remember:
Windows is for kids (oh sorry i meant games)
Linux is for adults (men, you know those guys who have authority and actual power)
This is also a bit in the "brain"... linux is very snappy if u do it right, windows sucks if u do it wrong.
