Two years ago I made the switch to AMD when I needed to replace my ageing 1060 (still on Windows back then) and I'm so glad I did because I avoid all of the headaches with getting Nvidia to work on Linux
Mine works fine. Never did check which drivers I'm using though. I like the cuda cores for davinci resolve, and dlss for games that struggle on my ultra wide monitor (looking at you, cyberpunk)
If it wasn't for those 2 things I will be gone next card refresh. Truthfully the main reason I went Nvidia in the first place was old habits. ATI/AMD traditionally had no driver support for Linux, or at least worse than Nvidia who actually had an official driver package. Things have changed though.
For replacing dlss, fsr works well and you can use it on games that don't support it using gamescope.
What is gamescope? Is fsr the same idea? Dynamic resolution scaling?
Gamescope's a compositor made by valve that you can install and add as a launch argument to games. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope
Yeah, fsr's basically the same thing as dlss, it's a bit worse but it's pretty close. You can also use it on nvdia cards.
If a game comes with FSR out of the box use that tho. It will not scale stuff like the UI for instance, so you get the UI at native resolution, but the game is getting upscaled. If you use Gamescope for scaling it will scale the whole image and it's limited to FSR1 while games can come with FSR2 or even 3 (I think 3 is just added frame generation on top which is only useful for playing at >60fps).
