So, if I was to build a SFF PC for living room gaming I'd be best to purchase an AMD GPU ?

Yes.

Although I've tried Linux on Intel-based PCs I'd lean towards an AMD GPU particularly for a Linux gaming PC. I'm currently running SteamOS on my lounge PC which is my old gaming rig and is a 6650XT and runs great. Only issue is the intro/splash screens being choppy but that might be my HDMI cable tbh.

Although you'll more than likely be fine. My 3 week old new PC built on AM5 with an 9070XT has has horrendous stability issues (AMD pageflip bugs). I've finally managed to get this stable adding a few boot parameters for now which isn't ideal (amdgpu.dpm and amdgpu.runpm). But like Windows there are some bugs/issues that can impact you.
 
People trying to scalp these already in for a rude awakening if they think people are going to pay anywhere close to double the asking price, nevermind listing them on eBay for x3 the asking price
