    1. Filesystem doesn’t matter hugely but as the other user said, ext4 will be the fastest anyway (possibly xfs, not sure how ext4 and xfs compare). CoW filesystems like btrfs are slower, though most people don’t notice a significant difference. People use CoW filesystems for other features like self-healing ability and backups.

    2. I would strongly recommend getting an AMD card. As the other user says, AMD’s drivers are fully FOSS and work well with Linux. Nvidia has a bad reputation with Linux and especially Wayland, though these days it’s mostly usable, but IME is still prone to breakage upon updates. IME AMD GPUs “just work”.
