Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming?

Linux@lemmy.ml – 143 points – 10 months ago

so my old GPU died a few days ago and I was thinking which brand of GPU to get next. AMD or Nvidia? I've heard Nvidia drivers are very annoying with Linux but I've never had an AMD GPU before. Which would be better? I'll sometimee switch to Windows to play specific games as well.

if you’re willing to use proprietary drivers it works, but it has some hiccups

Do you know if nvidia still has issues with Wayland or are nvidia and MAD on par nowadays in that area?

The only way nVidia works well with Wayland is with nouveau

Their proprietary drivers still don’t work. They announced plans to make them work better, but they haven’t put in the work to merge them yet

Sounds like currently AMD is a safer bet if one was in the market for a new card.

Thanks for your answer.

Last I tried it didn't worked, however last I told Reddit/Lemmy that NVIDIA didn't worked on Wayland I was downvoted to hell and told it obviously worked and had worked for a long time. So in theory it works, but I was never able to get it to work and I have given up trying until I get an AMD card.
