From my experince AMD drivers are pretty close, I’d even say slightly better on GNU/Linux, definitely more stable and consistent. For Nvidia, yeah they are bad at supporting GNU/Linux. Improved a lot through the years but still not there. For Intel, well not exactly an option for gaming, at least not the integrated GPUs I have used so far, but still better than in Windows in a similar way as in AMD case.
P.S. Another great thing with libre/opensource GNU/Linux drivers: When you report a bug with Mesa3D drivers the bug is quite quickly fixed, especially when you can provide them with backtrace and/or Vulkan/OpenGL API trace. Doing a bisect of source code commits amd identifying the commit that introduced a regression also help a great deal. Good luck doing the same with closed/Windows drivers: you can wait for years and no fix.
It’s totaly messed up in general and has been for a long time. They try to hack it for the new CPU model and stab you in the back for older CPUs, I’d say it is FUBAR.
Or they just found out that Windows process scheduler is still broken beyond repair. If you look at the benchmarks on GNU/Linux performance is all there. For example see Phoronix benchmark
Yeah I am so glad I switched to GNU/Linux years ago, Have to keep supporting closed OSes at work with our software and with each release they are just getting worse and worse, while GNU/Linux just keeps getting better.
Even quicker is “#X”
Yup still exists. It is also available in KDE Help Center. And you can quickly jump to a man page you typing “#man” into KRunner.
Yup I agree, openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop is just awesome. my favourite distro at this moment,
Bash is my favourite one, second to it being Fish
Yeah the driver supporting LEDs and exposing them should be installed. The exposed LEDs can be found in /sys/class/leds/<device>/multi_[index|intensity]
, See Linux kernel documentation for details: LED handling under Linux and Multicolor LED handling under Linux
One way of greatly improving ROCm installation process would be to use the Open Build Service which allows to use the single spec file to produce packages for many supported GNU/Linux distributions and versions of them. I opened a feature request about this.
Nope. here it is about the good DRM: Direct Rendering Manager
