If it's not a matter of budget (Blackbird still more expensive than a D16 workstation) I'd *always* get the Blackbird. Just note that while most software works well, not everything will run as smooth on POWER compared to X86. Perhaps some tweaking will be required.

I would choose an amdgpu GPU over nouveau on most days for my use-case (office and sometimes a little gaming (0 A.D.)). This also is a personal opinion, but GNU/Linux support seems to be much better (at least for new-ish GPUs). Required blobs are an issue on both so *if* I had to choose..."

And are those systems really truly 100% free software?

I have a Raptor Talos II and I use it to live stream to an NGINX instance. I also have a Vikings D16, but I do not use it for streaming.
