Games on nVidia have always been faster for me on Linux as well as far more stable.

But at least for me it takes a long time after every major Ubuntu release before I can get it working, and it's always more magic than real understanding. The most painful is that I have to do that every 6 months. Doing it once would be acceptable. So often I just use the onbaord Intel chip because it just works. But with many games it runs so hot that even my laptop screen gets a black mark on the side where the Intel chip is.

7 years with Ubuntu, I don't see that, what is it you're doing that makes it so difficult for you?
