In general AMD hardware is run better with Linux, because the drivers are open source.

A colleague of mine runs an Arch system that uses an Nvidia GPU and he says it runs largely fine.

Personally i had a nightmare using an Nvidia GPU on my Mint system, but that was in part because the monitor's file that tells a comouter system what it is and what it is capable of was corrupted. Windows is fairly good at adapting to that but Linux not so much.
