Are you using Wayland? If so, where the compatibility issues resolved? (that's one reason why I moved to AMD GPUs over Nvidia).

I don't believe I am, I'm using Fedora + i3 but I don't have any transparency or special fx on the windows. I do remember setting that up on my last machine but it never looked great so I left it out this time.

  are you using i3 with compton? Without it my 2070s had screen tearing, with it, weird visual glitches here and there. never figured it out

    Compton sounds familiar, I think that's what I was confusing for wayland before. It adds a bunch of transparency effects and other "nice to haves" but I believe I had similar issues. Drivers on Linux have always been ... non-ideal. I use the Fedora kmod drivers these days. It's held up nicely so far without any boot halts.

I went from a 1060 -> 3060ti and didn't have any problems. All I did was an apt update after booting. I'm on KDE+X.

Not GP but I have an Nvidia card and no, Wayland on Fedora 34 does not work. And unfortunately Nouveau is highly unstable and crashes multiple times per week, usually when I'm in a meeting or something important. I just build a new rig and I didn't even consider Nvidia. AMD for me all the way. My only regret is that there's no `nvtop` equivalent for AMD.

  there's radeontop, but i don't know if that's comparable

    Cool ty, I'm going to check out radeontop. RE: the article, I also built a 100% amd desktop (in 2020) for Linux. Wayland, sway, vaapi, pipewire, etc... all working without drama. I've considered posting about it somewhere, but just haven't had time.

    Radeontop is awesome and I'm grateful for it, but it's nowhere near equivalent.

  From reading this it sounds like support should land soon in Fedora 35 https://lwn.net/Articles/869561/ https://lwn.net/Articles/869561/

I just recently setup wayland+sway on my linux dev machine running a 970gtx. I made sure to use `mesa` the open source drivers for nvidia and everything worked pretty well. I will definitely be purchasing AMD GPUs if I intend on running linux in the future. I know nvidia is working on supporting GBM (which is the sticking point for wayland support) but who knows when that will land.
