For instance, https://gpuopen.com/amd-gpu-architecture-programming-documentation/ https://gpuopen.com/amd-gpu-architecture-programming-documen... Their driver is also in-tree: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU It may or may not be as good as Intel. I don't have the depth of experience there right now. It looks like AMD and Intel GPUs should be roughly similar in terms of support / out of the box experience on Linux, but AMD will have better performance. Nvidia is still super proprietary, so it will generally have more headaches and hoops to deal with. So, generally, I rank them by default: 1. AMD 2. Intel 3. Nvidia Unless there is a reason (firmware or configuration differences for Intel/AMD needing to run/develop CUDA code for Nvidia) I try to stick with that. I've not yet had an AMD laptop though.
