Swapped over to a 7800XT about 3 months ago. Better Linux performance, tested a bit on Windows also and it worked fine, I'm more than satisfied with my decision to hop over from my 3060.
Yeah, same here. I switched from a 3080 to a 7900 XTX and couldn't be happier. FPS doubled in some games, it only needs two 8 pin connectors and I really like the adrenaline software. Haven't tested Linux yet but I am going to soon.
The Linux driver isn't the most straightforward to install but it's not difficult. You have to install the installer first, then install the driver with the installer.
Only caveat is you don't get the adrenaline software, but it's kind of a moot point as it wouldn't work anyway due to how Linux works.
I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, was using gnome but switched over to KDE and stopped getting crashes in certain games and got a small performance increase. I suppose that would be due to dropping Wayland for X when I moved to KDE.
