Im running a 7000 card on Arch since January (7900xt) without issues. For the first 1-2 months I had to install the git version of the drivers from a separate repo, but it still worked like a charm, a thousand times better than Nvidia (not only performance wise)

According to phoronix, no issuee at all. Everything runs fine
I've had a 7000-series card since December and haven't experienced any driver issues. Using KDE with Wayland and two monitors. My only complaint is the power use when I go over 60Hz, but maybe it has to do with one of my monitors. This is what I see happening:
- Both at 60Hz: 25W
- Using only display A at 120Hz: 25W
- Using only display B at 120Hz: 90W
- Both at 120Hz: 90W
I was hoping some driver update would fix this but by now I've given up. As for gaming experience, I have zero complaints. Big titles I played were Cyberpunk 2077, Remnant 2 and Elden Ring and they performed great.
Isn't this an intrinsic problem with AMD graphics chips? I thought this was the case on windows as well.
VR is atrocious, everything else is amazing, though I think I'm having issues with something related to OBS screen capture causing hitching. Could be a number of things inside or outside of Mesa.
VR has been atrocious on AMD linux for years what the hell are they even doing
It's really no better on NVIDIA, in fact its much worse since async reprojection likes to break more often on NVIDIA for some reason, VR in general on Linux is atrocious.
From what I understabd AMD cards are very well supported with Mesa.
