The one system I have (for e-mail/general office work) without an nVidia card has an Intel iGPU. It has only becomes worse as kernels have moved forward. I'm basically stuck on kernel 4.15 unless I want random soft GUI locks. It's sort of livable with 4.18, in that it happens once or twice a day. With kernels 5 and up, it's once or twice every few minutes.
That is not an improvement.
Admittedly I've not tried kernel 5.7 or the 5.8rc, so it's possible that it has finally been solved.
My AMD (more correctly, Radeon) experience on Linux is horribly out of date, so I can't really comment there beyond saying that I never really had any problems - even with an old FireGL 8800.

Getting off-topic here, but the users I've dealt with that own Intel/AMD hybrids verify that DRI_PRIME works (glxinfo checks out), but are disappointed with the performance of the AMD GPU. Ideas?
Note: I can't remember for sure, but I think the same thing might occur on AMD/AMD setups - dGPU performance isn't much better than iGPU.

RTFA. It's not just Nvidia that benefits from the change(s).
(There are other surprising omissions, e.g. the nvidia drivers still seem incapable of saving and restoring VRAM contents across suspend/resume. Not what I'd expect from "top notch" drivers...)
