Never had any problems, just avoid the biggest GPU manufacturer? It’s Nvidia’s fault to supply shit drivers for Linux, but statements like this highlight how far away we are from “the year of the Linux desktop”.
It changed around RDNA I think? They pushed a new driver stack that works on all FOSS software and then offer their proprietary driver as an optional firmware blob.
Since they open source kernel space driver uses the same interface for both you don’t get a degraded experience on either.
This new driver amdgpu (and amdpro) replaces radeon.
Ah, that’s good to know. I’ve dabbled around with different distributions on VMs but now I feel like it’s to convenient to just set up a new vm when I want to do something

I run nvidoa and have zero issues
I’ve had an AMD graphics card like 8 years ago and I couldn’t even install Linux. It crashed within the installer every single time.
