I picked all AMD for my box specifically because of their open source Linux contributions. I have friends who have done the same.

If you're strictly going by FOSS contributions you'd end up with an Intel CPU and an Arc GPU though.
Arc wasn’t an option when I built mine.
Absolutely lol, those people are amazing just spitting bs everywhere
I decided to go full Nvidia evil since it was best for AI art.

I do my part not to give Apple money, but as Ford Prefect said about foie gras:

“You can’t care about every damn thing.”

EDIT: Ohh CPU not GPU. Oh well enjoy the joke

Makes sense - article mentions Windows is the opposite (with Intel's share increasing, and AMD's sitting at ~32%), and Windows users are much less likely to care about open source drivers and contributions.
Hi. When you say "all AMD for my box", does this mean CPU + GPU? Or more?
CPU and GPU; 5800X and 5700XT.
