7700 XT a good choice? (feddit.uk)

I'm thinking about buying a new GPU. I'm looking at the 7700 xt as it's about £355 and I want Linux support and I like newer features. Before I pull the trigger can anyone tell me why I'm making a huge mistake?

I understand that but my current NVIDIA card is useless on Linux. I do a little AI stuff but I’ve mostly moved to the cloud for that.

Not useless. I've been using Bazzite for a couple months with my RTX 3080. I've played BG3, The Talos Principle, and Divinity Original Sin EE. I have to use X11 instead of Wayland so I can use GWE for fan curve, but honestly I've been shocked by how well everything just works. I'd give it a go first before dropping your dosh on a new card unless you really need to upgrade anyway.
