Ended up with the last few weeks of December off last year and sat down with the mission of getting my Centos 8 box to work with steam. The RX580 worked lovely for VIM, but... went on a grand adventure to get their drivers working. Oh what a pain. Took me, with my limited knowledge most of that time to sort out the potion miscibility roles between steam, centos, and amd.
About January, they released a set of updates where all the planets aligned. Went from a grand adventure to a handful of commands. The rest of this year has continued to be a non-event for updates. I'll be looking at one of the ATI cards as lord knows I've failed to find any 3080s, of any make, in stock since launch.
- pimeys 6y agoDid you use their closed source drivers or the ones provided in the kernel? I've been just using Arch Linux and the mainline kernel with the OSS AMD drivers, and everything's super good and solid since last year when I got the workstation.
- heelix 6y agoClosed source. At that point in time I was trying to get Steam up and running on my Linux box to play some games which needed something more than stock. I'd only used the open source drivers for coding/work, which were lovely. A buddy had gifted me a stack of RX580s when he exited bitcoin mining - so I had a way better video card than I needed for IntelliJ/GoLand/VIM. Not saying it was the right rabbit hole, but my god that was an adventure getting 19.30 closed source drivers to work on a Centos 8 Streams box. Ended up spending much of December compiling kernels and banging a dead chicken on my monitor... rather than the original mission of playing Oxygen Not Included. https://www.reddit.com/r/CentOS/comments/eplicu/steam_on_centos_8_and_an_amd_video_card/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CentOS/comments/eplicu/steam_on_cen...
