I've been seeing comments like this for a while, and for my most recent PC I got Radeon RX560, the card which is highly recommended for its excellent Linux support via open drivers. Yes indeed, it worked great, but it's the little things that inevitably get you: the fans on this card are supposed to be off if the GPU temperature is under 50C, but on Linux they're on 100% of the time [1], with everyone saying "just run some scripts that fiddle with lm-sensors every second". The bugzilla issue is over a year old and marked as "medium" priority so it's unlikely to be touched soon. So I plugged my older Nvidia card back and the binary blob works just fine. [1] It baffles me that this obvious behavior needs any kind of driver support. "turn off the fan when temperature drops below X" feature was present in cars before software was even invented.
