Radeon on Ubuntu? (lemmy.world)

Hello all, first time poster.

I've been gaming on Ubuntu for a few months now with no issues on my 2080ti.

It's time to upgrade my card before Starfield comes out, but I haven't seen too many positives regarding Radeon on Linux.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd like to get the 7900 XTX over a 4090 for the price difference alone.

My AMD CPU has been great on Ubuntu.

Funny you say that, because Linux users have a lot of hate for Nvidia due to its poor support and closed-source drivers, and lots of love for AMD with it's great support and open source drivers.

AMD GPU's are literally plug-and-play in Linux.

I think i'm just naive. I did a bit of searching but didn't find much. I didn't realize the drivers are built into the kernel which makes me feel much better.

Thanks for your reply!
