Nvidia cards work way, way, WAY better in Linux than AMD. Like, it's not even close, unless you're using the open source drivers for your GPU, in which case Nvidia is garbage. I'd really like to support AMD, but I'd be basically shooting myself in the foot. Check the benchmarks. Unless something drastic changed with this latest gen, you pretty much have just one option for Linux gaming: Nvidia.

It's not that dramatic. The AMDGPU driver has made leaps and bounds and the difference with Catalyst isn't as big anymore. Nvidia needs closed source drivers to work and that's just silly on Linux. I game on linux with an old R7 265 and it works just fine.
