I've had nothing but issues with AMD on Linux. 7970,280x,rx580 and vega64. All of them had horrible bugs for what I was doing and amd opengl sucks. I eventually got sick of all the hard lock bugs running emulators, and the driver devs not wanting to fix it because Nintendo was their customer. Then I switched to nvidia and everything just works with similar performance to windows. Unless installing the drivers is too hard, nvidia is the best was to game on Linux

Installing the drivers is easy, but that doesn’t mean they work immediately. I got a fairly old computer a couple of years ago and put an RTX 3070 in it… I tried installing several distros and each of them would go through the install fine, then give a blank screen when I tried to boot. I tried all sorts of configuration and driver installations, both free and offical NVidia. I finally got one to work like it should, but it took about 10 days of messing with it.
