I'm using AMD cards for ~8 years with Fedora now. I experienced some issues but nothing I'd consider a major blocker (I had similar problems with intel-based gfx cards in my laptops). These were mostly regressions and usually there was a workaround. - There were times when there was a chance that the kernel locked up after resuming from suspend (maybe 1/3 tries). - Garbled screen after resume (old r600g driver, workaround was to switch to the console + back manually) - I have one extremly old dosbox game which will hang my GPU when using AMD's "DC" mode with X.org. Workaround: Disable DC with kernel parameter (and loose HDMI audio) I'm not using accelerated video encode/decore (as far as I know) nor OpenCL (getting ROCm to work with Fedora is a *major* pain point). One the plus side I always had a free driver and kernel bisections were easy. AMD cards always worked out of the box after install (though there were times when I used mesa.git and/or AMD kernel trees for bisection). I could use Wayland from the first day and GPU performance seems to be ok (I'm not much of a gamer). Also I found that the AMD mesa developers are pretty responsive if you are able to pinpoint a regression to a specific commit.
