Hello all, first time poster.

I’ve been gaming on Ubuntu for a few months now with no issues on my 2080ti.

It’s time to upgrade my card before Starfield comes out, but I haven’t seen too many positives regarding Radeon on Linux.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d like to get the 7900 XTX over a 4090 for the price difference alone.

My AMD CPU has been great on Ubuntu.

    Generally speaking amd is favored over nvidia on linux because it’s driver lives in the kernel (more free), better wayland support (this is changing tho) and not having to install a driver manually or an installing a restricted driver from the package manager. I’ve been running my 6900xt for a couple of year and it’s been great. The only downside of amd is if you need/want some of the nvidia tech like rtx and cuda. Here are some older benchmarks from when the 7900 xt was coming out https://www.phoronix.com/review/rx7900xt-rx7900xtx-linux
