No. It's not.

AMD only officially supports GPGPU headless. That discounts 90% of the market. Old graphics cards lose support randomly. That discounts much of the rest. The whole thing is a horrible, bug-ridden mess.

I'd pick AMD over NVidia if it was e.g. 50% slower at the same price point -- open source is worth waiting for -- but I can't take nonworking.

AMD also has no support. I'm now building tooling reliant on NVidia, so if AMD ever gets their stuff working, we're many backports away from a working ecosystem. The longer AMD takes, the deeper the hole.
