I thought the driver was in a decent place, is that not true? Where is the best place to read about the situation.

Same, and I thought that on the other hand Nvidia drivers were a mess

You are correct.

7000 series is a shitshow. Check out Mesa git.

Instead of telling people to check out a huge and highly complex codebase, why don’t you just link to specific issues?

I have a 7900XTX and have been playing exclusively on Linux for 8 months without any major issues and with excellent performance. I can even play CP2077 with ray tracing if I reduce the resolution one notch. Granted, RT is still pretty choppy and stuttery but that’s never been a high selling point for AMD.

Yeah, my 7800XT works just fine, albeit with a newer kernel than the one that Mint would run otherwise.

[–] c10l 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah of course. I have the latest kernel and latest Mesa. But that’s to be expected, since these are new-ish products!

[–] sploosh 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Latest? Who's got time for all that nonsense? I just grabbed 6.6.6 (the first game I played with it was Doom Eternal, naturally) and I'm gonna call it good until there's a compelling reason to update.

[–] c10l 1 points 5 months ago

Lol yeah that’s fair. If it works, it works!

I kept up-to-date as I was waiting for a driver fix to the OC and fan curve interfaces so I decided to track the Liquorix variant.

Here’s a link to my setup in case you’re curious! :)
