RTX 3070 on Plasma with the latest Nvidia driver. Things are probably better with AMD.

I used Arch for 2 years and Fedora for about a year. I just can't handle Linux as a daily driver anymore, I don't really want to deal with all the little annoyances anymore. Every couple of months I come back to see if things are improving.

I have zero issues with Windows. I don't do much dev work on this machine and when I do a VM is good enough for me.

I've had a nearly perfect experience with Intel and AMD.

It's pretty rare to have a machine now days without integrated graphics so it's easy enough to just use the integrated GPU for the desktop environment and only use the dedicated/Nvidia GPU for games/CUDA stuff.

“I don't really want to deal with all the little annoyances anymore” and “I have zero issues with Windows” does not compute. Or are you running Windows XP/7?

I'm running EndevourOS (Arch), KDE Plasma 6 on X11 and rarely have issues. Wayland isn't nice to me though. And as long as XScreenSaver doesn't work on it I likely won't switch. The same for AutoKey, although Hawck seems to be an alternative (https://github.com/snyball/Hawck).
