From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As many already know, nvidia is not the best choice for linux and amd is always recommend when it is brought up, so here id like to ask an equivalent to my graphics card in amd, i know nothing about amd and dont really know where to start honestly.

GPU: gtx 1660 super processor: 11th gen i5-11400 2.60hgz x 6

what would be a similar or better choice from amd in terms of gpu that maybe doesnt cost an arm and a leg? Do nvidia or amd matter in terms of games?

any help would be very appreciated

Strange question. Starfield is not an Nvidia GPU.

You dismiss people who say AMD's Linux support is superior to NVidia's, justifying your position because you claim you haven't had an issue with NVidia on Linux in 10 years. I just gave you an example of one of the biggest game titles of the year that, unlike with NVidia GPUs, works perfectly on AMD/Linux DAY ONE.

Seethe harder.

Are you serious? What a dumb way to avoid the question.

Starfield is an example of Nvidia's Linux support being extremely "sub-par", to put it in a friendly way.

Yes. I don't want to shock you, but not all people read 24/7 about nvidia drivers. God, what a moron.

Pretty big news for people into Linux gaming.

Lol, calling me a moron for criticising Nvidia. Get a life.

This company doesn't know you. They don't care about you. Their actions have shown them to be hostile. You don't owe them any allegiance.

Lol resorting to name calling?
