In a few weeks, this will likely no longer be an issue - Explicit sync is finally done, and Nvidia is already sitting on a driver release that will work fine with Wayland. So if you're not morally against closed source drivers, Nvidia cards are no longer going to be a issue on Linux.
So with that in mind, I actually do recommend Nvidia this generation. Power efficiency, CUDA, dual video encoding, DLSS, ray reconstruction, significant ray tracing performance.
But if you're in a hurry or absolutely need the best bang for the buck for rasterization (and only rasterization), AMD still wins. If you also want to use as many open source components as possible, AMD is the only choice for now.
I'm out of the loop as far as Intel Arc cards are concerned, but I believe they're also using open source Mesa as the driver?
