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.

Just did the same process 3080 -> 7900xtx.
I uninstalled the Nvidia drivers, shut down, and installed the AMD card and it's all just worked.
I'm not sure the balance, but the RX 6600 should be a great boost. The 7600 xt seems like a solid card, but it's among the current geb overpriced cards.
Also, speaking from experience, amdgpu has some freezing issues on the 7xxx cards. I had to add a kernel arg to mitigate the freezing.
We just got a new mesa on fedora this week and it's improved a lot.
The RX 6600 and 7600 are only 8GB cards. I wouldn't consider getting anything with less than 12GB for gaming now.
Also keep in mind that DXVK increases VRAM usage.
