I have a dumb and probably easily-googled question, but I trust the average knowledge here:

What's the best Video Card / Brand / Model for running games on Linux? I'm considering upgrading my old gaming PC and would rather also switch to Linux for gaming. (I'm already familiar with Linux for regular use and programming, but haven't gamed on it once).

Any modern (last 5 years) amd/nvidia card will do. Intel cards have a few issues in certain games but overall they are fine to. AMD cards are nice and what I prefer because they are plug and play and you dont have to think about drivers as they're baked into the kernel.

So really the best card for linux is the card that makes sense for your budget/PC specs/desired target games.
