Is AMD really that much better? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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!

I haven't read anything you wrote other than the title, but yes AMD is so much better, everything just works, nothing breaks with updates, no weird quirks,... It's just so much QoL you get by using AMD

Plus they didn't put millions of dollars into marketing their product in the early 2000s to become a household name, yet are still heavyweights in the game. Always respected the hell out of them.
