Saved up for a couple of years and built the best (consumer grade) non nvidia PC I could, 9070XT, 9950X3D, 64gig of RAM. Pretty much top end everything that isn't Nvidia or just spamming redundant RAM for no reason. The whole thing still costs less than a single RTX 5090 and on average draws less power too.

And then to stick it to the man further you're running Linux of course, right?

I tried Mint and Ubuntu but Linux dies a horrific death trying to run newly released hardware so I ended up on ghost spectre.
(I also assume your being sarcastic but I'm still salty about wasting a week trying various pieces of advice to make linux goddamn work)

Try Bazzite. Easy, beginner friendly, but very God hardware support and up to date.
