I really love that the AMDGPU modules are Open Source and well integrated into the kernel. With my 6600XT flickerfree boot works thanks to KMS, Wayland just works (sway), gaming works great, accelerated video decoding and encoding works, smooth video player with hardware accelerated frame interpolation works, PCIe Reset for Hardware Accelerated Windows VM supposidely works (untested for me) and all essentially out of the box (baring setup and installation of the individual components/libs).
When it comes to linux GPUs, AMDs Open Source Driver strategy paid off, because I bought mine explicitly because of their great linux support.
