Depends also on the AMD GPU. Vega is fine, Raven Ridge had weird bugs last time I looked, with rx590 I couldn't even boot the proxmox 6.1 installer (it worked when I swapped in rx580 instead).

Why is Intel not a competition? In laptops, I want only Intel, nothing else. It is the smoothest/most reliable/least buggy thing you may have.

Performance wise, Intel is streets behind.

I know. But do you need that performance for what you do on the computer?

For most uses, Intel GPU is fine.

But if you do need that performance, Intel isn't an option. If you don't, there is no reason to even consider Nvidia. They serve different needs.

I'm currently running a AMD card because I thought the drivers were better. I was mistaken, I still have screen tearing that I can't fix.

No doubt someone more knowledgeable about Linux could fix this issue, but I never had any issues with my nVidia blobs. That's not to say nVidia don't have their own issues.

this was my experience as well. I eventually bought an NVidia card to replace it so I could stop having problems. It's been smooth ever since.
