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)

    funny thing! my amd card just crapped itself and i went back to nvidia. everything worked first time after installing the driver, actually.

    i still notice a bunch of stuttering when using the desktop though but im pleasantly surprised with the newer driver in all other ways, its gonna do very well until i get the other card fixed.
