Nvidia has always had great Linux drivers, the main problem with them being that they are dkim based so every now and then things get a bit screwey when upgrading your kernel. Thankfully this doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to.
While I can't speak first hand for AMD as I've not owned an AMD/ATI card in decades I do know that AMD and Valve have dedicated Linux driver deveopers directly contributing them to the kernel and have heard nothing but good things (taken with a grain of salt because fanboys will fanboy).
- Zardoz84 6y agoactually AMD drivers are open source and works better that NVIDA proprietary blob.
- deadbunny 6y agoYou seem to be conflating open source and functionality. The proprietary Nvidia drivers are perfectly functional and maintain feature parity across Windows and Linux (minus HDR but that's not Nvidia's fault as HDR barely exists on Linux). AMD drivers are open source but that alone doesn't make them "work better" than the Nvidia drivers.
