I like where this is going

They already provide custom images for their Jetson modules, I think more NVIDIA distros are likely to happen one way or another.

That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest

Nope, X and i3 here.

On Linux it’s usually just X that completely crashes and I get kicked back to login, but I’ve had more than one hard crash.

Windows will usually just crash to desktop and close any hardware-accelerated applications. Have also had the odd hard crash here.

I’ve had over twenty crashes in BG3 at this point. Crashing soeems to be more prevalent in certain areas of the game - Grymforge, especially.

It was inconsistently causing gamma flickering with certain fullscreen applications. I haven’t seen it since disabling it on my monitor.

I have an RDNA3 card (upgraded from a 1080) and am running a multi-boot triple-head setup with mixed refresh rates (60, 144).

Pros: most things work and work well. Installation of the physical card went without a hitch and it was relatively simple to install the drivers. No issues with web video, streaming, video encoding, or standard use.

Cons: mesa, amdgpu, and Windows drivers are all lacking significant features - I am still unable to reliably control fan curves/speeds, clock speeds, etc. FreeSync is unusable as well. I have also been experiencing regular crashes on certain games (BG3, Apex Legends, etc.) and support has been nonexistent, despite similar complaints from other users. When the card does crash, it usually results in a ring timeout and an accompanied total session crash. AMD does not seem to be responsive to these issues in either their official forum or any other space where people are lodging complaints.

The hardware seems fine; the drivers are the main issue. If I had to do it over again, I’d hold my nose and buy NVIDIA.

EDIT: regarding the cursor issue, I’ve had to switch to a software cursor on Linux. The hardware cursor wasn’t showing up at all.

Regarding game-specific issues, it seems a lot of problems stem from either a greedy low power mode or DirectX issues. I’ve had to set udev rules to alleviate some of my issues, but it hasn’t solved everything.

I’ve had a mixed experience with my newer AMD card, and that’s being charitable.
