Should I switch to amd? (beehaw.org)

I have been considering selling my 3060 ti and buying a 6700 xt for a while now. The main reasons are (potentially) switching to wayland, +4 gb of vram, hardware acceleration in firefox (and steam too, it's leaking vram for me with nvidia), potentially vr on linux with my quest 2 (a lot of things in alvr seem to be locked for nvidia) and better compatibility with linux in general. I don't really care for productivity or rtx and dlss (it's not like they work in most games anyway). The upgrade would cost me at most $75.

Amd is much better on Linux, nvidia has an annoying thing for me where it stutters on every window creation, so when my notification bar spams me the system near freezes while it sorts itself out, amd is smooth as silk.

But on windows I'd probably go green, amd left a bad taste in my mouth the last few rounds.
