As a Linux user, I had to trade in my Nvidia laptop for one with an AMD GPU due to how unstable the Nvidia drivers were and how many problems they were giving me. With the AMD laptop, I have had zero issues.

Anything to help them take on Nvidia and stay competitive is a good move. However, I wish they would also announce a recommitment to driver and software stability. I had to move to Nvidia for my workstation rig after having constant stability issues with numerous AMD cards across multiple builds.
I wish their GPU line received even a portion of the polish and care that their CPU line did.

I did the same move for similar reasons! Although I still keep windows around on another SSS - and even the Windows Nvidia drivers were being funky for me.
Nvidia shares a lot of logic between their Windows and Linux driver as far as I’m aware, so I suppose it makes sense.

Damn, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.
Unfortunately at the time, AMD didn’t have anything performance competitive. But it was worth the downgrade for the better drivers.

Was it the card or was it something else? Any chance you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU?

It was the card, and nah, it long predates 13th/14th gen.

Isn’t it at meme levels when YouTube games have their screen go black and they mention Nvidia crashing?
