Well the counterpoint is that NVIDIA's Linux drivers are famously garbage, which also pisses off professionals. From what I see from AMD now with ROCm, it seems like they've gone the right way. Maybe they can convince me next time I'm on the lookout for a GPU.
But overall you're right yeah. My feeling is that AMD is competitive with NVIDIA regarding price/performance, but NVIDIA has broader feature support. This is both in games and in professional use cases. I do feel like AMD is steadily improving in the past years though. In the gaming world FSR seems almost as ubiquitous (or maybe even more ) as DLSS, and ROCm support seems to have grown rapidly as well. Hopefully they keep going, so I'll have a choice for my next GPU.
