I got a Nvidia 12gb 3080 for about 250 used and it's been pretty solid under X+Kubuntu. It's like 2 additional steps to get running out of box on most distros. I tried a few different distros but because of the libs I use in my custom vfx/animation pipeline I went back to a Debian based distro. My gaming experience is flawless though I dropped serious money on this box.

For the first time in my 20 years of using linux I have free memory when I'm not rendering. I've always found the best performance gains from hardware in Linux is ram so I maxed out and regret nothing.
You might be able to run some CUDA stuff on AMD cards using one of two API translation layers. It's not something I would bank on. If you just want to do diffusion stuff then don't worry too much about. You can still use Llama3 on AMD. I don't really do a lot diffusion work though. Mostly use comfyui as a node based processor for my own python vfx code.
