I have returned 2 Radeons that I bought for specs but returned because the drivers were bad enough that I couldn’t get the same-clock performance as Nvidia or worse dealt with driver crashes and system reboots - note that this was between 10 and 20 years ago. I am highly considering trying again at eom when they announce the new cards but that it’s a Radeon is still a downside to me.
Most of the Linux community has a historical hatred of Nvidia because of the driver issue so there’s a lot of relative love out in forums, but just “stable” would be a step up for me for Radeons on windows.
I recently built a system based around a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU, and in both Windows 10 and Linux with a 5.4+ kernel it's rock solid. Gaming in Windows is simply amazing and it pairs well with my 1440p monitor. On Linux gaming is also extremely good, with only a couple of "Windows only" titles acting buggy under Proton/Steam. Considering Proton itself is in its infancy, that's to be expected.
With native performance on official Linux games on par with or better than the Windows equivalent, and more and more games getting Linux ports due to Vulkan, I just about have no need to boot into Windows at home anymore apart from Fusion 360.
As a workstation in Windows, since I don't overclock I don't see any stability issues. Fusion 360 is fast and fluid unlike my 8 year old Sandy Bridge dinosaur at work, even after adding a GT 1030. Good quality Crucial RAM and a no-frills AsRock B450 board make for a rock-solid build. Ditto on Linux as a workstation, everything just works and works well, and it's superb for 3D modeling and music creation (two of my main hobbies).
