My current computer is the one that I helped my late best friend build, and I'm so glad that we ended up going for an AMD GPU. I wasn't using Linux back then (and neither was he), so it was just a lucky fluke. My switch to running Linux as my main operating system would've been far more stressful with a Nvidia GPU, it seems.

I've still got a GTX-1080 in service on my "HTPC." Which...is starting to be a problem, honestly. It's getting to where that card is too old to support things, like Bazzite's HTPC system apparently involves things the GTX-1080 can't do. It's a kickass graphics card but it's also a decade old and software has moved on. And I hate that shit, computer hardware outlives itself too damn often. I've got a literal pile of perfectly working ten year old computers.

Mildly interesting, as I just did nearly the same, going from a GTX970 to a Radeon 8570. Did not have the same "it just works" experience however. But I blame that more on my lack of Linux knowledge than the video card.
