I have been offered a choice between these two cards, and I'm not sure which one will perform better in linux at this point. If it was Windows I would just go with the Nvidia and call it a day, but the driver situation on Linux has me leaning towards AMD. Is the AMD the right choice?

I'm using the Garuda distro.

The AMD card is newer, faster, has more VRAM and has better driver support in Linux.

Even on Windows, between those choices, Nvidia is the loser.
