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)?

Non Nvidia will give you the best over all experience. That said I do have 3 systems running Linux with Nvidia. But one of them is headless, and I can't use Wayland on the other two because the Nvidia driver shits the bed hard with one particular app. However if I don't run that app Nvidia and Wayland are pretty stable and smooth. Not as smooth or stable as AMD or Intel and Wayland. But decent.

And depending on your needs. I just picked up an overclocked RX 580 sapphire on eBay for 60 bucks. Which is pretty decent for 1080p gaming.
