Meh, nothing like having the official AMD video drivers crashing several times a day on Ubuntu with a flagship Sapphire RX 7900 XTX. And if you're extra lucky it will kick you out of the session too.
How are Intel's drivers? My new PC has an A750 because I like to live dangerously. It's been great in Windows for the few games I want to play (the older stuff that has performance issues with Arc I'm largely not interested in or can play on my old PC)
Intel has historically had very good Linux drivers. Last time I checked (8 months ago), there were still some bugs when the cards were new, but I'm sure they're mostly ironed out by now.
Sorry, I don't know. I ended up with a full AMD build.
The drivers themselves are fine, but the problem is game compatibility. Several games require you to fake your card vendor so that the game thinks you're on nVidia or something, but even then, there may be some compatibility issues.
