Yes, nvidia can be a bit of pain. Normally you a install proprietary drivers and it works, not always. AMD just works.
AMD "just works" unless you dare expect hardware encoding that you explicitly picked your card based on to work properly
Yeah, if you're planning on doing anything fancy (e.g. RTX, FSR/DLSS, streaming w/ a specific encoding, etc), do some digging to check compatibility on Linux, you may need a newer kernel or something. If you just want a general experience (e.g. mostly playing/using apps on default settings), it's less of a concern.
Well, that sounds better than be unable to login because kernel unattended update breaks nvidia drivers.
Depends, unless you wanted to record/stream in higher-than-toaster quality until a month ago
The lucky mostly of people don't. I personally have any issues.
True, everything else runs great
