They don't mention it in the description but this is mainly about kernel fixes and some associated utilities which have improved VRAM management on AMD GPUs on Linux. It's not upstreamed yet AFAICT, but that's why they used CachyOS which includes the patches and utilities out of the box.

lemme guess.. cachyos, a tweaked-for-gaming bleeding-edge disto, vs a default oob win11 configuration.

i put iot on something here for some testing and it did quite well with latest drivers.
