I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf
And every time I have to force myself to tell them that its even Easier to install drivers on Linux, because you dont even need to know if you have an AMD or an Nvidia Card, you just open the Software and click on the recommended install
@NeatNit @Luffy879 There is amdgpu-pro driver, but anyway it use opensource kernel driver. So it’s just ubuntu kernel little outdated
And now AMDGPU-PRO has dropped the proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers and AMF, so the only thing you would get from it that’s different from the open stack is the OpenCL driver and maybe AMDVLK. https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-AMDGPU-UNIFIED-LINUX-25-10-1.html
You can use AMDVLK with the mesa just fine
@NeatNit @Luffy879 also, many years ago there was closed-source ATI fglrx driver, which required disabling many kernel features. amdgpu-pro is still may contain some parts from fglrx and mention ATI technologies, but now amdgpu-pro not used anymore in most configurations…
