Well Nvidia does not really do much to help the FOSS comunity.


AMD drivers on Linux are pretty good.

Yeah, not only are they inferior to Nvidia (from experience...), but they frequently don't even bother to make any - see the recent AMD on Ubuntu 16.04 and later situation (no idea as to other distros, I assume it's a kernel thing though). Meanwhile, You can take an old Fermi video card and it's gonna have either the most recent or a close to driver on Linux.

Going Linux, go Nvidia for now.

It is generally accepted that Nvidia are not the people to go to for your Linux driver needs.
AMD actively helps the open source community.
I use a RX 460 on my main Linux box and it works perfectly (using Debain 10).
