Any pointers?
But running many other ML technologies or Whisper variants is impossible because of lack of Cuda.
So if you are any serious about ML, overpriced and undermemoried Nvidia is the only way to go at the moment. But if you don't care about that and only care about gaming, Amd will be the best choice for most people.
I get graphical glitches in gnome, it crashes GPU accelerated browser tabs, my logs are full of “FAULT_PTE ACCESS_TYPE_READ” errors, it freezes the displays for 30 seconds seemingly randomly. And that’s with the latest drivers available for Linux and the latest available 6.5 kernel.
I’m mostly on Windows these days tho bc it’s a better fit for my daily stuff
I found it mostly worked, and then broke controller input about 3-4 months ago, and then partially fixed it last month.
What controller or stick/throttle are you using?
Not sure if you're running flatpak Steam but I hear controller recognition works better with standard Steam.
Other than the control contretemps, it's been a good experience absent the occasional Proton breakage. I stick to Experimental, FWIW.

As a rule of a thumb, use AMD.
That's actually one of the painful parts about video on Linux, is that if you've got something that needs GPU acceleration via libav, you've got three (or four) not so nice choices: nvidia, which has good hardware support but is hit or miss if it actually works outside of their proprietary nvenc, especially for libav and vaapi; AMD, which seems to lack hardware for this on low power cards, or it's poor where it exists; Intel, where the ARC cards don't work well (or at all) if you lack resizable BAR (which means you can't use anything with any age as the host). Intel's integrated graphics is probably the best choice, but still I'd really like a discrete GPU with good Linux h264, vp9 and av1 encoding and decoding support, as it doesn't seem to exist today.
The resizable BAR problem is annoying, but that's not limited to AMD, either. I'm not 100% sure about Intel, but if resizable BAR doesn't affect performance, that only makes me think they left some easy performance win on the table.
I have to agree on Intel QuickSync, though, that's hands down the best video encode/decode solution for consumers. AV1 encoders are very recent additions to the GPU landscape, though, so you won't be able to get those on a budget. AV1 decoders are easier to obtain, and H.264/VP9 especially so.
