AMD or Intel on Linux (AMD is way more performant and mature)
What are you using it for? Are we talking just casual desktop usage, heavy gaming or something in between? If you don't need a powerhouse consider getting a used GPU.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AMD is not generally better, not on Linux not on Windows. The GPUs are more expensive (I heard) and have worse performance, and no CUDA support (likely NVIDIA threatened them so they told the ZLUDA dev to stop).
NVIDIA totally sucks, but my experiences with AMD CPU+GPU (Thinkpad T495, Vega mobile 8) were not really great with constant freezes after sleep).
Intel really has the best support. And maybe some ARM GPUs.
