Been using AMD gpus for years due to their superb Linux support. Would like to play around with AI image generation completely offline so a Nvidia gpu is kinda must. Besides that I do some gaming as well.

Currently I have AMD RX 6750 XT and am considering replacing it with a RTX 5060 TI with 16 GB vram. How well does Nvidia gpus work in modern Linux systems. I'm running Tumbleweed with KDE plasma on X11.

Other hardware is Ryzen 7 7700X and an Asrock B650 PG Lightning motherboard.

Edit: Been using InvokeAI so far but cpu only is super slow.

Finding a distro that would boot from USB was a headache

Using nomodeset on the kernel boot command line usually helps with booting if it's a graphics problem.

True, I had to use that with another instruction when I tried to boot a usb with Ubuntu on it and it worked.
