Nvidia encrypts their firmware and have Nuveau developers wait for them forever. No question they are the king of the hill when it comes down to performance, yet AMD and other related parties actively contribute to the development of the open stack. That's something... Meaningful, if you care about open source. Nvidia, on the other hand, limits its open contributions to the tegra drivers only, if I recall correctly.
It's ok, I'm still torn between buying an RX480 or a GTX1060, and I'm scared by all the potential headaches that going with AMDGPU will give me eventally, but I'd rather support the company that's friendlier to open source, even if it's tainted by a few blobs here and there.
