That makes sense. I've done both team green and red on linux now, Ubuntu and PopOS. My personal thoughts:

NVidia for compute, hands down, it wins. Any AI or compute, you can't compare. But the drivers are worse and a pain to install, and conflicting versions left and right and it's just hell. PopOS saved me by having all of that set up for me.

AMD GPU drivers are still not great if you're running a non "official" distro, but I eventually got it to work. AMD definitely feels more "stable" over NVidia. Way less fiddling with Steam and games too, most seem to "just work" compared to fiddling with env variables with NVidia.

Pros and cons. Personally, I'm leaning Team Red right now. They're really bringing it. I don't see any reason to spend more on an nvidia card unless you are doing massive compute loads.
