I can't speak for linux currently, as I stopped running that in lieu of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, but I havent had any of those problems on either of my AMD-gpu-powered machines on windows. (one running Vega 8 integrated, the other running an RX 580 4G).
it definitely sounds like a driver compatibility issue. AMD cards have had....issues on linux for a long while now. I remember running a laptop with a dedicated AMD card about 10 years ago that wouldn't work on linux without installing a 3rd-party driver because their switchable graphics implementation was god-awful.
- BuckRogers 8y agoWhile I love Linux Mint and Antergos (for rolling), I'm a Windows-based C# dev, and WSL would be my choice as well. Other than increased hardware compatibility the big win is battery life when mobile. Not really a factor for me as I develop on a Ryzen 2700X, but Windows 10 with Edge (soon to be Chromium based) or macOS with Safari is as good as it gets for battery life. I doubt a primarily server OS like Linux will ever match Windows or macOS in this regard, though I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it happen.
