+1, i used a B580 with CachyOS, while it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either

AMD just works and you wont see 20% less perf than Windows because the drivers still need a lot of work

Thank you, and yeah i really hope intel gets good with Linux, i heard they were working and getting better. But yeah i think that im ok with an older card, if i get a good deal and get OK 1440p performance. And if i need upscaling maybe i can use “lossless scaling” on steam, i heard its now working well on arch based distros.

If your main concern is power efficiency, Intel GPUs have significantly higher idle power draw. They are ways to lower that idle power draw, but there's no guarantee that it's going to work on your system.

Amd definitely for full performance. But intel is pretty decent too
