I switched from Nvidia to AMD for the simple reason that Linux support (out of the box) seems better. Plus AMD just looks (slightly less bad) by virtue of not being like half of the US economy. Oh it also helps that modern AMD cards can actually legit compete with Nvidia cards by now. Or surpass them in some respects like price / money ratio.
I picked a 9060XT 16GB for my recent build because it has good performance and vram capacity for the price, I don't give a shit about ray tracing, the drivers aren't actively hostile, and AMD isn't the primary driver of the AI slop bubble.
I did the exact same thing, and my frame rates in-game have never been better.
