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.

Hey this maybe a stupid question. I am considering on buying a GPU. I am in conflict between nvidia and AMD. I know AMD works better on linux in general but I am curious to follow the NVIDIA advancements as they go with the new open source kernel modules and stuff... I don't know if it is worth it to pick team green over team red. Also typically performance will be better with NVIDIA on compute and stuff like that.

P.S.

Yes, this is related to the previous post I made here.

What are you using it for. Just gaming?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I am using it for gaming on windows. I will dual boot with a different os on seperate drives. For linux, i want something stable that won't crash on wayland.

What kind of gaming. I bought a 6800xt a few years ago and have only used it for minecraft and csgo.

Then AMD it is.

You have to decide what is more important to you: Linux compatibility or ray tracing and CUDA? There are other differences, but those are the big ones.

Only difference is CUDA. AMD does better ray tracing from what I've seen, and FSR is more performant in most cases as well vs DLSS, though DLSS may have some quality tests which is subjective.
