For years, my main daily driver was a laptop which had an Intel GPU. When I swiched back to mostly a desktop a couple years ago, I went with AMDs -- because I think they make better CPUs than Intel -- and so am running Ryzen GPUs on the two desktop computers. All of the other computers in my house are headless micro-servers, ODroids, mainly.

Both the Intel i915 and the current Ryzens are rock-solid and fast under X. I haven't had issues on Intel GPUs in years, and have never had to do any tweaking on Ryzen. Back in the early days of my XPSes (I've owned 3 models over the years) I used to have to muck around with the drivers, but not in the past 6 years. A couple years ago I installed Artix on the XPS and didn't have to do anything with the drivers or X config -- it just worked. Earlier this year I wiped Artix and installed EndeavourOS, and again, X worked and has been utterly solid without any tweaks.

I am aware that some people have issues with X -- there's this tearing thing I've read about, but I have never, in all the decades I've been running Linux, seen it myself. Even back when I was editing modlines and xorg.conf. In all those years I've seen a lot of issues with X -- missing drivers, poor GL performance, difficult configuration -- but never that tearing thing. I can imagine if I did, I'd be glad for a solution, and would be eager to switch.
