Tbh running AMD isn’t easier. For my workload I needed OpenCL and when it wasn’t installed by default, and wasn’t apart of apt package manager. I had to follow a script which involves amdgpu and only having OpenCL install if I wanted my machine stable.

Not the best experience.

For Nvidia some distros have installers built in to handle it. Like Mint where it’s one click and a restart and I have everything.

My problem isn't installing, it's after installing. Vsync has extra bad latency, frames are reversed, and more. And this is on 565, the latest version.

Games are unplayable.

The best way to use AMD GPU compute is to use containers. Keep in mind AMD only really has good performance on newer cards.
