Is AMD really that much better? (self.linux_gaming)

Hey everyone,

I'm currently rocking a 3080 I bought second hand in my Arch Linux rig. It works great under xorg but not so much wayland. There are a number of bugs and gaming performance is worse. I would like to use wayland in general for the mixed refresh rates with dual monitors. My question is: Is AMD really that much better than Nvidia? Is the AMD experience issue free with wayland? Also, how is hardware encoding with AMD? I'm particularly curious how performance is for game streaming with sunshine. I currently use nvenc hardware encoding which is amazing and feels like there is no latency. Does AMD have a similar experience?

Thanks!

Just feels clean using AMD these days instead of nvintel, couldn't care less for hallucinated frame gimmicks and the zoomer hype around it, give me raw power without fucking me over on basic features like VRAM. Oh yeah and the seamless linux platform support while retaining all features without bullshit driver juggling is just cream on top.
