obviously official support would be great and the radeon division of amd should really get their shit together. but i'm still happy that i can enjoy FSR4 via optiscaler with a rdna2 gpu on linux no less. amd is only harming their already not so great reputation.

This seems like such a short-sighted move on the part of AMD. The ~$50 discount you get with AMD GPUs is not worth the hassle of subpar software support when you are spending $500+ (if not a lot more, the cheapest 9060 XT in my country is around ~$500) a component that you expect to use ~5-7 years minimum.
As much as I don't like Nvidia, I can be confident that my 3080 will continue to receive support for at least another ~5 years. It's a perfectly capable GPU even at 1440 (let alone 1080).
