As an aside, i hate GPUs on Linux. I'm running Blender and am in the market for a new PC build. The GPU is a huge source of confusion, due to Linux.

I see so many conflicting stories about how well AMD GPUs behave and perform on Linux. Some new, many old. Some even as extreme as "I bought a new AMD GPU and there are no drivers for it yet". Furthermore for Blender specifically AMD seems to get the short stick in performance.

Really leaves me confused as to what to buy. Just venting.

Amd should work but you will most likely require the proprietary drivers which implement openCL. Amd has a second project called rocm which is meant to work with blender and be open source but it has shocking support for their products (no support for the 5700xt)
