The Late Night Linux FamilyWhat's pulling you away from open source, and what will pull you back?

nigelCurrent Kernels are shit on my particular AMD setup. I have a Ryzen 5600G, and when running internal gpu it seems ok most of the time, but when running my 5700XT GPU I rarely get logged in before crashing to reboot. Nothing in logs is overly useful.
This is a known thing apparently, so I just reside in Windows on my desktop until I build a new PC at some point in the next few years as it is not worth my time.

I still run Linux on a couple of VPS I run (for my blogs and this snac instance), and my Raspberry Pis at home which are for media on TV and a PiHole.
I am at the point in my life where I realise it is shorter than we think, and I don't want to spend more time on that stuff if I don't have to. More importantly, my wife doesn't want me to 😆
Seriously though, if it works I will use it. If it doesn't, I am not. Also Linux feels bloated and slow compared to even a few years ago, but maybe that's just the Desktop Environments.

AMD GPU hype on Linux PC
I saw some hype from this youtube creator https://www.youtube.com/@Level1Linux/videos When in reality - nothing works on AMD GPUs. Yes, I have owned an AMD GPU for the last few years, and I did fix a lot of bugs in the Linux kernel driver with this piece-of-software that is amd driver. Now on kernel 6.7 - it just beyond unusable. The most popular freeze/crash on AMD GPUs is - amdgpu: ring gfx timeout Just google it. And to trigger - amdgpu: ring gfx timeout - I can do it using only mouse...
