Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮Today I shall join team AMD GPU, that is all.
Béla Bartha@gamingonlinux Why? I've just gone the green way with my new gaming PC.
AmonTheMetalHead@belabartha @gamingonlinux less hassle I guess? That's why I did so years ago
@AmonTheMetalHead @gamingonlinux I wish I saw this a few weeks ago. Last few GPUs I had were from AMD, but now switched to nVidia.
@belabartha @gamingonlinux eh, It'll probably be fine too, depending on your distro, the nvidia situation today is way better than it was 10 years ago, and mesa support for foss nvidia drivers is also chugging along, you'll probably be fine ;)
@AmonTheMetalHead @belabartha because NVIDIA gives me constant headaches, and I want the FOSS drivers like I have on Steam Deck :)
Privatepower42@gamingonlinux @AmonTheMetalHead @belabartha why did you think of the Asus TUF 16 AMD advantage? A good buy?
jeffeb3@belabartha @AmonTheMetalHead @gamingonlinux
I've used nvidia in my developer computers for years and I use the proprietary drivers. There is some occasional hassle. I probably reinstall the drivers 5x over the 3 years the computers last. Nothing to lose sleep over. It has been pretty constant for 10 years or so (it used to be broken with every update).

Stephen Greenham@gamingonlinux Very jealous... I want to join that team so badly... I wish I could ditch the 3090 for the limited edition Starfield card!
Pēteris Krišjānis@gamingonlinux welcome, we have cookies :)
Fishd@gamingonlinux Welcome... we have cookies.
And by cookies, I mean open source drivers.
Sakey@gamingonlinux Welcome to the club. What model did you go for?
Tom Soualrd@gamingonlinux Which card have you gone for? I swapped an RTX 3080 for an RX6900XT a few years ago just for the better Linux experience! (this was before Nvidia drivers started getting better wayland support)
Quad@gamingonlinux 'bout time
Entity2D@gamingonlinux I made the switch from an RTX 2070 to an RX 6700 XT about a month ago. Everything 'just works', without having to download propeitary drivers. Hopefully nVidia open source drivers can catch up.

idontbyte@gamingonlinux AMD for Linux all day long!
razze@gamingonlinux I've switched from a 1080 to a 6750xt last month
DevOops@gamingonlinux I'm actually hesitating to buy a 6800 xt or 6950 xt or rx 7900 xt to replace my 1070 ti

@gamingonlinux My first thought was that you were hired by AMD to work on GPUs. 😆
@gamingonlinux But it seems a good decision. For me, I'm still stuck with a NVIDIA card, but that's because I use a gamer laptop (I love gamer laptops) and virtually there's no AMD GPU on them.
Mikhail Paulyshka@gamingonlinux What exactly was the last straw and was the trigger to quit team Novideo?
@mixaill been having all sorts of issues for ages with nvidia, and since i'm 99% on plasma it just works better with amd and then i can also do wayland and gamescope properly on desktop too
sqrt(-1)@gamingonlinux
yaaay! I got a rx 7900xtx some months ago, nvidia never again
welcome!
RAK@gamingonlinux: Have been team AMD GPU since my 4890, but I've been waiting patiently for something a bit cheaper than the 7900 XT from the 7xxx series before making an upgrade from the R9 290 I've had for a bit too long.

Gabriel Elyas@gamingonlinux Let's gooooo
Javier Heredia@gamingonlinux I’m a bit jealous but I can’t justify replacing my 3090, despite knowing AMD works better in Linux.
Koz Ross@gamingonlinux Did this a while ago, never looked back.
moo@gamingonlinux I remember back in the mids 00s, having to go from ATI/AMD to Nvidia because the Linux support was just better back then. Fun how times change.
