I've bought two AMD GPUs in the last two years but I still have three Nvidia GPUs that I use. The cost of moving everything over to AMD is high so it just takes time to get rid of old hardware as a best case scenario.

Totally understand. I hang on to my current GPU for as long as I can before switching to a new one (fiveish years), especially these days.

Having said that, if your goal is to move to Linux for gaming, best to go with a whole AMD setup if possible. Also a distro that updates often but is not bleeding edge. (For me, Fedora/KDE.)

This is True. I spend most of my gaming time on Bazzite with a 7800xt Nitro+ GPU. Works great 10/10.
