Intel vs AMD; am I taking crazy pills?

I recently started diving into running LLMs locally. Last week I bought an Intel Arc B60 Pro from my local Microcenter. I realize that NVIDIA is the market leader (understatement) and everything is built around NVIDIA for compatibility and functionality, but I do not want to NVIDIA as a company. It felt like a steal of a deal, having 24GB of VRAM for only $650. I had watched content on YouTube and read online that people had some challenges getting Intel cards working, but I figured that I am somewhat technical and like to tinker, so it would be fun.
