The FOSS amd and intel drivers work great and have for years.
- mcny 6y agoI would have agreed with you but sound input broke for me (Lenovo flex 14 with AMD R5 3500U) on fedora with kernel 5.8 and didn’t get fixed until 5.9. That was months of something being broken. How did this happen and more importantly did we learn anything to prevent this from happening in the future? For now fedora is on an old desktop machine with an ancient i3-2100 processor and I just ssh into it.

- notyourday 6y ago> The FOSS amd and intel drivers work great and have for years. Intel has a random lock up in the Mesa. It had this lock up for several years. It has not been fixed. I have a 4k laptop with it, it is incredibly frustrating that I cannot use kitty or alacritty on it because of that crash. AMD driver crashes on modern cards every few weeks. If you want to have a "What are you talking about, it just works?" experience, you buy an NVidia card with proprietary drivers, slap X11 on it and you are off to the races. It just works (currently driving 4x 4k monitors). Last crash was about 11 months ago. The crash manifested in a freeze for about 20 seconds, followed by it recovering by itself. OSS graphics drivers are just not as good as people claim.
