AMD is the only real option for those of us using Linux. Nvidia's weirdnesses regularly fill up support tickets on Linux forums it's not even funny

I've been using Linux on my desktop since 1995, have used a lot of nVidia cards and have yet to experience that weirdness you speak of.

I've been using Nvidia with Linux for a VERY long time. Currently I have computers running:

  • GT1030 - two older PC
  • GTX2060 Ti
  • GTX 3050 Ti - laptop

They are all working fine with openSUSE Tumbleweed. I install openSUSE, add the Nvidia community repo (a couple of clicks), run updates once, and reboot. Everything just works after that. I can count maybe 3 times in the past 6 years that there was any issue at all.

Now Ubuntu and derivative... I've had a LOT of issues and weirdness... drivers failing, doing weird things etc.
