Best current/last gen gpu for Linux compatibility? (lemmy.world)

I know Nvidia has a reputation for being bad with Linux. Is it better now? And most of all, what would be the best GPU for modern gaming on Linux (any distro)?

Well, wallet and needs. The 7900XTX is the best, but I'd never recommend it to someone who only plays decade-old games, or even simpler modern games.

If you want a good idea of how GPUs compare to each other, the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy is a great source. Just keep in mind that on linux specifically, NVIDIA has a bit more of a performance drop compared to AMD. Comparing the 3090 and 6800XT on that chart vs. Tom's hardware, seems to be roughly 5%-7% more of a dip

You're trying to be reasonable when OP is not :)
