Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.

GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6

what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?

any help would be very appreciated

I switched from NVIDIA to AMD for the same reasons. Better compatibility with linux. Worst decision of my life. AMD is still far from NVIDIA in too many ways. Rocm is a total piece of shit and very few programs support it. Gaming performance is meh.

So I had to spend even more money to switch back to a 4070.

The best card you can buy right now for perf/$ ratio is the RTX 4070. You won't regret that purchase. Or you can continue to delude yourself that AMD gpus are good now (they aren't, but maybe one day)
