I'm curious, really. Are there any tasks that AMD GPUs really help with when compared to an Nvidia GPU? I'm thinking of getting the 6900XT and was wondering if there was anything that would help me make the decision? I use Linux on my computers.

heat rooms?
be in stock because no one wants them?
Black screens (too soon? )

If you use linux then the amd driver is open source and embedded in the kernel, The open source linux vulkan driver is often a reason people like AMD on linux. They are or where considered more "plug and play" than NV under linux. Until somebody comes along and tells me otherwise
AMD has more VRAM.
The 6900xt is AMD's 3090 .. so in this case that's not right, the same tier card for Nvidia is the 3090 with 24GB VRAM , so the 6900XT doesn't have more VRAM at 16GB.

I'd argue the 3090 is a tier above the 6900 XT, the latter costs about £1800 for a top end AIO model currently where the former starts at £2k with the AIO card in stock here costing £2400, a good 33% for an AIB card of an equivalent level. The 3090 FE is a different prospect of course.
6900 xt is 3080 ti competitor
Today I would say you are right in that statement more VRAM but on release day to the release of the 3080Ti the 6900XT was loosing on the VRAM to a 3090.
