Wouldn’t you lose a lot of quality during decode/encode?

AMD used to be a hassle, but now the Mesa support is very good. It’s probably better than Nvidia.

I’m using Intel Xe embedded graphics and they are suprisingly good. This is probably the first embedded intel chip that can run games. It’s basically on par with low-end Nvidia and AMD cards.

From what I understabd AMD cards are very well supported with Mesa.

My experience is that all games run on Linux these days. Wine, DXVK and Vulkan are really good. The only games that don’t run are those that explicitly ban Linux users with some creepy anti-cheat.
