Do you want your drivers inclued by default in most distributions and in kernel updates? Or do you want to suffer using FOSS Nvidia drivers, or installing proprietary ones? The choice is fairly easy for me. Actually bought mine from this factor having Nvidia cards before.
I'm on none for now, AMD drivers still need proprietary firmwares. Old NVIDIA GPUs can run without anything proprietary with Noveau, so that's probably better.
On desktop computers, I've used Nvidia GPU's since the Riva TNT 2 days. I've strayed onto the ATI/AMD camp only once; while the hardware was very good, Linux drivers were horrible cr*p (that was the "Catalyst" era).
Nvidia and it already caused multiple problems... Would have gone with AMD if I didn't need to use DaVinci Resolve which supports basically no codecs on AMD / Linux ๐
- I changed out an older Nvidia GTX 1060 gpu for a Radeon RX 7600 XT on my casual gaming machine running Ubuntu 24.04, and everything is working much smoother with it. Steam with Proton and Heroic Games Launcher for the Epic stuff is working just as well as when I was using Windows 10 on a dual boot on this same machine for gaming.

On benvhmarking the Nvidia has about 10% less FPS in Linux as on Windows. And the AMD has about 10% more FPS on Linux.
