I am going to buy a new graphics card and can’t choose between Nvidia and AMD. I know that Nvidia has bad reputation in Linux community but how really it works? And I heard recently their drivers got better. What can you recommend?

P. S. I don’t want any proprietary drivers (so I am talking about Nouveau or any other FOSS Nvidia driver if it exists)

    In my experience older nvidia cards (~5 years old +) work fine, newer ones are very hit-or-miss
    Amd cards of any age work pretty much perfectly as far as I can tell

    Though if the drivers not being proprietary is a hard line for you then amd is your only option really
