High refresh rates. I can't afford a gaming desktop right now but if I did I would definitely look either for a 1080p 144hz or at most 1440p but then you have issues with fractal scaling on linux. The fact that I want to run linux also limits me in using an AMD gpu only due to the miles ahead hassle free drivers they have.

Dual booting exists you know... I run a windows and linux dual boot setup at home. You're right with regards to AMD gpu's in that they're hassle free since kernel 4.15 (I have a Vega 56).

How is dual booting relevant to the hardware choice? Dual boot or not it's the same monitor and gpu.
