- jl6 7y agoI recently built a new PC and my GPU was a Radeon RX 5700 for exactly this reason.
- pjmlp 7y agoI though I was doing a good deed buying a netbook with AMD CPU, because of their FOSS love and such, then they decided that Brazos APUs aren't worth supporting beyond basic features. Since then I just decided that no matter what, GNU/Linux is not the platform for anyone that actually cares about desktop graphics programming.
- vertex-four 7y agoBrazos is 2011-era, right? amdgpu has become a thing since then - AMD now officially supports their GPUs on Linux, including those in most APUs.
- pjmlp 7y agoExcept that it doesn't provide the same OpenGL features and hardware video decoding as fxglr. So much for "supports".
- eleitl 7y agoWay ahead of you here. And regardless of how https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm pans out, at least you're not sinking skills into a proprietary jail.
