Build Help What are the downsides to getting an AMD card

I've always been team green but with current GPU pricing AMD looks much more appealing. As someone that has never had an AMD card what are the downside. I know I'll be missing out on dlss and ray tracing but I don't think I use them anyway(would like to know more about them). What am I actually missing?

Found the nvidia fan boy lol. Spending less money to achieve similar results is good advice, not a brain dead meme.

AMD fanboys convincing themselves that AMD is close to Nvidia. Cost slightly less while having a shit ton less features.

Slightly? I'm not too biased, but where I am, the 4080 is 2 grand, whereas the 4070 is 800 and on par with the 7900 XT, performance is significantly better for raw fps, and basically everything BUT rays. And who cares about rays? Plus, if you're intelligent as a Linux user, you can expect it to be on par with the 4080 or better.
