Same here. Switching to an AMD GPU solved 95 % of the problems I still had with desktop Linux.
Oh, and Intel Arc works quite well also.

I was tempted by Intel as a newcomer and having sane pricing. In the end and won because I tried my system ssd on a friends gaming PC and it worked perfectly. Otherwise ...
you probs meant props
Alright, alright ...
I clicked this wondering why OP had problems with AMD. It kinda just works right out of the box.
My system was built with the intention being a rock solid Linux gaming system. I also went with AMD (6700xt I think) and a cheap i5 12400F CPU. Never had any real issues running this thing with Arch (btw) til today. Thanks amd, thanks valve, thanks WINE devs.
Personally I've never had an issue with nvidia on Linux, it's also "just worked" for me. My gripe is the lack of vaapi support
For me it is not about 'issues'. It is just so much simpler and convenient. I also never had problems with nvidia, but then i used a AMD gpu. Oh my. What an experience. Everything including hardware acceleration in the browser etc. just worked on my barebone Arch install.
Some applications didn't work correctly with nvidia + wayland for me, AMD solved that.
I've had a similar experience. When I had a gtx 1060 6gb I had lots of issues and then purchased a 6700xt and have had an awesome experience. To be fair to nvidia, they have been improving their driver a lot as of late and the opensource community has as well with NVK. As the comments show on linux it always seems that everyone has very different experiences. Perhaps this is because of the segmentation/diversity of linux being many different types of linux distros and software versions etc...
