Thats why i never buy their shit after having one laptop with one of their graphics.

Worst part? I’m still using that laptop, im doing troubleshooting right now.

Anyone else?

    On the Radeon camp, it’s just “apt dist-upgrade; systemctl reboot”

    Done.

    The only time I had issues with the open source AMD drivers was when I was doing GPU pass through to play Elite: Dangerous, the drivers really didn’t like the state Windows left the card in when it was time to reattach it to Linux.

      Do you have any good suggestions on where to start with using pass through? Have an AMD card as well and would love to be able to do this but I always get stuck at one point or another

        first is to have a second graphics card - it can be an integrated one, like on Ryzen 7xxx or Intel CPUS - or a second computer that can SSH into the gaming box, just in case you need to open a terminal to fix stuff that broke. Then hit the Level1Tech forums, there’s a lot of knowledge there about the stuff.
