I've noticed quite a few discussions mentioning that Nvidia drivers can be a hassle with Linux. I'm planning to build a PC this year that runs Linux and I'm curious about which GPU brands are more compatible and reliable. Any recommendations?

AMD GPUs are often praised for their compatibility with Linux, offering both official and open-source drivers that make setup easier than Nvidia's. They generally work better overall, especially for those new to Linux.
I've had a smooth experience with AMD and Intel integrated graphics on Linux. While I've never used Nvidia, I've heard that they can have problems with Wayland, which I rely on. So, if you're looking for something hassle-free, AMD or Intel might be the way to go.
Yeah, and the issues with Nvidia often stem from using multiple screens with differing resolutions and refresh rates. Most users don't face these issues, but it does happen.
