Ah yes. Nvidia. The green death.

At this point my systems are going to be pure AMD until status quo changes. I begrudgingly used Nvidia while they were the better of 2 proprietary blob options but now that AMD GPUs work out of the box with no hassle (for the ones I have tried at-least) and are competitive on performance for what I do (consumer workloads/gaming) then there is no contest.

Right now I'm daily driving Wayland + Sway on Arch and it's been mostly good. Only issues I have ran into have been weirdness in the whole Alsa + Pipewire + etc stack which is hairy AF. Configuring Electron things to use Ozone auto detection makes them run native rather than via XWayland which is nice too.

Interesting how the pendulum swings.

My first PC I built and used with Linux used an ATI Radeon graphics card (now owned by AMD). It had such poor Linux support that I swore I'd never buy ATI again. Nvidia's drivers were way better in those days.
