I thought the driver was in a decent place, is that not true? Where is the best place to read about the situation.
Me, too.
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.
Ah of course. I have the latest kernel and latest Mesa. But that’s to be expected, since these are new-ish products!
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.
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! :)
