From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Too little too late.
Already sold my 3070 and went for an 7900 XT bcs i got fed up with NVidia being lazy
Even now, choosing between a free 4090 or a free 7900 XTX would be easy.
It totally depends on your usecase.
NVidia runs 100% rocksolid on X11.
If you're someone who reallse uses CUDA and all their stuff and don't care about Wayland. NVidia is the choice you have to make. Simple as that.
If you don't care about those things or are willing to sacrifice time and tinker around with AMDs subpar alternatives, AMD is the way to go.
Because let's face it. AMD didn't care about machine learning stuff and they only now begin to dabble in it. They lost a huge amount of people who work with those things as their day job. They can't tell their bosses and/or clients that they can't work for a week or two until they figured out how to get this alternative running that is just starting to care about that field of work.
Luckily the only way I'm gonna use ML is on my workstation server, which will have it's Quadro M2000 replaced/complemented by my GTX 1070 once I have an AMD GPU in my main PC, because on that I mainly care about running games in 4k, with high settings but without much Raytracing, on Wayland.
