I wasted days of my life getting nVidia to work on Linux. Too much stress. Screw that. Better ways to spend time. If I can't game, that's OK too.

I switched from a 3080 to a 7900 xt. It's one of the better decisions I've made even though on paper the performances are not too far away.

I’m told AMD works better with Linux, but I haven’t tried it myself.

AMD is plug and play on Linux. With my 7800XT there isn’t a driver to install. Only issue is that AMD doesn’t make anything that competes with the 5080/5090.

AMD is and has been much more friendly towards linux than nivdia. I run mine in proxmox passing through to linux and windows gaming VMs. AMD has invested in open source drivers.

Open source drivers are a major plus, I've had a much easier time than my partner on NVIDIA. I mean I make both machines work but the NVIDIA has been a real pig at times.
