Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

      That’s really surprising to me. I’ve been buying AMD only for many years now specifically because they have better Linux compatibility than Nvidia.

        I am not talking about the drivers themselves. Like the other commenter mentioned, I am talking about the software for fine tuning your card.

      What were you missing? Just curious.

      On the bright side in Linux we have ROCM. In windows they still haven’t released it.

        I am running the RX6500XT graphics card, which if you try to use in a plug and play fashion, you’re completely out of luck when it comes to running any mildly new game out there in ultra or high settings.

        However, the AMD Adrenaline software allows you to mess up with upscaling and many, many other goodies for you to fine tune performance and reach that ultra or high quality in (pretty much) all the games I usually play.

        There’s no way I’m playing with low settings on Linux when AMD developed some amazing tools for people that like hacking around with their cards. It’s just a pity they still work only on Windows.

        Edit: in my experience, ROCm didn’t work in my particular card. Moreover, in order to try an installation of those drivers I was forced to use distros I’m not familiar with like Ubuntu. I had to ssh to my university labs for any ML task.
