From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I upgraded to a 6700xt from my 1660 and AMD has absolutely no problems in my system. It's amazing.

Same, Recently updated my AMD card. Literally did nothing but turn the computer off, remove the old one, install the new one,turn it back on, and it just worked.

I've had enough experience with trying to get nvidia cards working in linux that I know that I'll never, ever, ever use a nvidia card, and thats including trying to use distros that supposedly bake nvidia bullshit in to make it no hassle, like Pop.

Which sucks. I'm not a corporate fanboy, I just want something affordable and that works.. and right now, on linux, thats just amd. Intel is a close second, though they need another generation or two to iron out their flaws.
