Sorry to have to make a post about this but it’s one of those things you need to be familiar with and I’m not.

I’m looking to upgrade from a 2060 Super to a Radeon as I’m mostly using Linux now. I’m not too fussed about buying new and I’d like to keep the cost down but if I’m changing I’d like to by something noticeably better than what I have. Any idea what’s a good buy in the market right now? I don’t care about ray-tracing.

Yeah if you can get a 6800 XT for around $450 that's a reasonable deal, that'd be ≈80% faster. Could also look at the Radeon 9060 XT, if you can get it for MSRP of $350 it's looking to be ≈50% faster than what you have.
