Amd is better on Linux in general but I’ve read that Nvidia has gotten better depending on the distro.
Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons

I have nvidia too. So all good there. Within protondb (you mentioned a Skyrim) you can filter the results by clicking on the cog and selecting GPU > nvidia. Depending on the game you might have to use some steam launch options to try to squeeze as much as you can out of your setup or to enable certain things but that’s usually captured in the comments if it’s required to play.

Usually AMD is better, since the drivers are fully OpenSource. NVIDIA maintains proprietary drivers, which means the open source ones aren’t as good (yet). Linux mint should have a fairly simple graphical tool to install the proprietary drivers
