How is NVIDIA performance on modern cards?
(lemmy.world)
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.

Let me give you my perspective.
I've been an Nvidia user for almost my entire life (started with a Voodoo 2, then a Voodoo 3) but last year finally got fed up with the Nvidia driver insanity. I jumped ship and got a Radeon 6700XT. I powered down my PC, pulled my Nvidia 1060 Ti out and put the AMD card in.
I powered it on and it booted straight to the login screen. I then spent roughly 15 minutes trying to figure out how to install the Radeon drivers with no luck. Turns out, you don't have to. They're open source and work right out of the box. Jumped right into starfield and haven't looked back since.
I'll never buy another Nvidia card. Just my experience, but hope this helps.
