I bought a 7900xtx because of all the Nvidia power connector issues. I was going to return it till I switched to Linux. Linux not only woke the card up but it addressed all the stability issues I was having on Windows.
Mesa is really good with AMD hardware, actually linux in general has been for a several years really good with any AMD hardware... i have a RX 5700XT and i can game, work , overclock-undervolt, record, stream, even some rendering , all of that running debian trixie with no issues whatsoever ... love your videos bro keep it up !
I personaly have a AMD RX 6600 and my experience is always been smooth across Pop OS, Fedora, Nobara, Garuda and OpenSuse. Never had a problem with drivers or installation. Recently I had to install a separate nvme with Windows 11 and the installation was much troublesome then Linux
The 6800xt runs flawlessly with any distro I test. The only distros I could get working with the 3070 was mint and kubuntu. Nvidia doesn't play well with others. I haven't tested a 40 series yet but I'm assuming it's the same.
Hey, I have a question, i noticed you mention mint is it good with amd hardware im rookie and doing research about linux before jump and linux mint just seems perfect for my use case but im wonder is it good for amd out of box. Right now i have laptop with ryzen 3 4300U but wanna build in near future full rig with r9 5900x and 7900gre or maybe some 8000series depently on time when gonna build it. PS i havent used linux in past and sorry for grammar mistakes, my english is not the best.
Linux mint is LTS meaning it will use older packages, your experience with mint will be subpar with amd hardware because of those older packages, Linux mint 22 did just come out but it doesn't use the latest mesa, I'd rather recommend a distro like bazzite for new users who are on amd bazzite.gg/

With the 3080 trying to install the nvidia drivers and upon reboot, I'd get a black screen with just a blinking cursor.

@@Phanbot01 Did you notice any major differences from Fedora based vs Arch for game installation and compatibility? Thanks for answering so fast. I plan to avoid hopping if possible.
@@TheCgOrion All I did with these distros is gaming and web browsing. I recently opened a Usenet account and downloaded some music and other questionable materials out of curiosity. I never noticed a difference in the performance of Nobara versus Arch. I didn't do a full benchmarking. If I installed a game and it worked without any major head banging, I was happy.
Wow, this was the PERFECT video to get in my recommendation. I just brought an all AMD laptop which ill of course be installing linux on. Thanks for the video!
AMD driver in Linux is more stable than in Windows, I face crash so often only when browsing with Chrome in Windows, which is weird I never got error on any Linux
AMD and Linux is pretty good. Just a few issues I've encountered. Screen flickering with external monitors and random system freezes. Both are related to the mobile AMD cards though.
Ok well that isnt as picture perfect as it would be. Lets say i want hdr for games welp cant do that on x11 Lets say i want gsync on my monitor, welp gonna need only one monitor plugged in to use gsync properly Can i have multi monitor refresh rates without x11 choosing to use the lowest refresh rate of those monitors? Nope You also can see that x11 devs are working on wayland and xwayland now, so x11 is going eol, this also goes for desktop environments like kde plasma fully focusing on wayland issues first instead of x11 There is no point using x11 if those features that people need are not available under it Wayland on the other hand does support all of those features and you can use vrr instead of gsync, desktop environments like kde plasma and gnome are quite stable now, even wms like hyperland do a good job with wayland If those features or problems dont disturb you then by all means use x11. But me as a user and a content creator im going to recommend wayland as it supports present day features that x11 simply doesnt. And if your nvidia you'll be able to use wayland, because of nvidia finally implementing explicit sync, so you wont get major problems when trying to use wayland on your card. This wont be arriving till around may or june tho
@@linuxnext "Can i have multi monitor refresh rates without x11 choosing to use the lowest refresh rate of those monitors? Nope " actually you can, for nvidia it's documented in the nvidia x11 documentation. You set an environment variable to choose which display to sync opengl refresh rate to. As for global hotkeys in gpu screen recorder on wayland, it will likely never be supported since it's fundamentally broken in wayland and its unclear if it will ever be fixed. Maybe they will invent yet another protocol to do it properly this time.
@@notuxnobux Yes but by default it's gonna behave like i said, as a normie user they wouldnt know how to do this and go oh well im going back to windows Also xdg-desktop portal global hotkeys github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/624 Apps like vesktop are proposing it aswell so their discord can have hotkeys
@@linuxnext yes thats true, but it's really a desktop environment issue. There is the option to fix tearing too but desktop environments dont have an option for that. As for that desktop portal im aware of it, I have used it. It's broken by design.
Thanks for this video. Answers most of my guestions. Im done with Windows shit, clean install of Win 10 since I upgraded CPU and less then a week passed and its already freaking out (unresponsive start/taskbar after login). I had some experience with Mint but didnt really try gaming. Im gonna try Fedora/Manjaro and see whats what.
Same but with 11, I wiped all my 10 and 11s when Recall was announced, though I found 10 less problematic, the file explorer is the most common break in my experience. I had been on Nobara for months and just went to Nobara KDE on both my main rigs: AMD and Nvidia ones. I've also gamed on Manjaro, they too have/had Steam preinstalled also last I used it (played WoW: Shadowlands last xpac on it). I ended up with Nobara & Bottles (bnet launcher gets GE Proton 9-5 and it's own bottle, mostly play WoW). Steam Compatibility is nice for Windows games, it can break in an update though, I tried Lutris not sure if that helped then ended up back on Bottles for gaming. I like that Bottles once it is setup feels stable. Only way I in the past fixed those Windows taskbar breaks was usually fresh install. Would give Linux Gaming a try, It's nice having a less bloated OS in the background while you game and am also happy with my file serving/HTPC needs being handled well.
My experience with amd was half good and half bad. Good side is gaming is great. Bad side is, I can't use hardware encoding for my streams. My gpu (6700xt) goes 100% usage and max clocks when doing so, and this causes fps drops in games. Even the recoding looks like 1 frame per 10 seconds Till this day I havent fixed it or found anything that can fix it
Whaaaat, vaapi exists in obs, what obs package are you using? Iv been using vaapi which is gpu encoding for amd And soon obs devs will be releasing a new feature for linux users who stream or record called texture encoding for vaapi on amd which means 0% of the frames being encoded will be sent to the cpu, and instead will be used all on the gpu side, because with vaapi right now still sends frames to the cpu and back which does increase the cpu usage but only by 1 to 3% if your streaming at 1080p 6k bitrate, with this tho it will bring it on par with windows encoding in terms of performance when streaming or recording github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/10137 To get vaapi you need to change your stream and recording settings to advanced to see it, im using flatpak which is the official way of getting the right depends for obs studio
I have used tumbleweed, its great but arch updates quicker for me, arch also can use kde by default as installing arch with archinstall lets you pick what desktop you want or window manager aswell
Been on Nobara KDE, great on my 4090 rig and 7800XT. I should check my 7900XTX see how that runs but it's been good both for Nvidia and AMD so far. I've been stable a few months/so not distro hopped, nested. I did start gaming years ago on Nvidia Manjaro, then did some on Arco Linux, now it's been Nobara. I think both Arch based and Fedora/Fedora based are comfortable for me to game in. I've used all the families for everyday things just 7000 series had to manually install firmware on 7800XT for Debian 12, that took a lot of looking up how to do things, and I wanted a more modern distro after solving that.
One multimonitor issue I can't resolve is the cursor being able to leave full screen games and end up an a side screen. Never had that issue with windows. Had it on every distro I've tried.
@SecretlySeven haha yeah id been playing those the past couple of days because it was on sale, to fix it you need to enable a cursor option in the winecfg in input called capture cursor automatically in fullscreen windows, i used proton tricks to change it on the fallout games like 76 and 4 Thats quite odd that happens tho, the only other games that the cursor can escape fullscreen is apex legends that i know off and its got to do with it running under xwayland so when native wayland for wine gets supported those should get fixed
@@linuxnext I just moved my screen placement so to go to the other screen is now the bottom of my screen. I don't have the issue anymore. Proton tricks and winecfg are beyond me. I use Nobara because to play steam games and stream with OBS everything works out of the box.
I had a nvidia card that i replaced with a 7900xtx and had many many issues getting graphics drivers to run with kernel complains. I had updated my kernel and that was not a good idea with radeon. I had to scrub all other kernels and after tinkering i got it running. But the issue with no 120hz with hdmi was a no go and trying my 8k dongle worked in 100hz in windows but onluy 60hz in linux. Added 100hz and 120hz manually witth xrandr but something else was proberly off but lact didnt have settings for color, resolution and those things. Buying and testing more dongles is not something i find very attractive as a solution. If i am not misstaken this issue with hdmi has been there 2 years or so and no comment from amd on a solution on the horizon. I am giving up as no hdmi 2.1 support is not ok for me as dongles is a very poor solution and spending more money for something that amd has not fixed in such a long time is not promising. I dont care for reasons for this as those doesnt matter as i cannot use the card properly. Open source is great but amd not working/offering a proprietery solution at the same time until hdmi open their code to be used in amd open source driver is not great. It is ot good for linux users and this would not have happened in windows. I guess the user base is much lower in linux so they get away with it. Its a bit sad for me as radeon works better for gaming in linux!
Amd did respond about hdmi 2.1, this was very recent, hdmi denied amds proposal for hdmi 2.1 support to be enabled in the open source drivers www.techradar.com/pro/amd-just-had-its-proposition-for-a-new-open-source-hdmi-driver-rejected This case is very valid but the majority of users use display port not hdmi when it comes to playing games on pcs, this isnt amds fault, they tried for MONTHS to bring support for hdmi 2.1 and they got denied, even other companies like intel had to use a display port to hdmi converter on the gpus board directly to get around hdmi's stupid rules So if you want those high refresh rates, with big resolutions, then display port is the only option, and this makes sense display port has the most ports on todays gpus, not hdmi and display port is a open standard, and doesn't cost money to use display port unlike hdmi where you do need to pay for having hdmi on those gpus
@@linuxnext hdmi forum rejected their solution recently but i dont think it was a surprise. For amd to mess around for 2 years and not fixing a solution with hdmi forum is very bad and slow management. Wouldnt the solution amd worked on have made hdmi code public and open source? Amd could have worked simulteinously on a solution in line with hdmi forum from the start if they wanted to. I really dont think it is ok to treat their customers this way. Most game with monitors i would guess is hard to know, but there is a bunch that use tvs as monitors. Probably not any competative gamers. 120hz isnt that special in 4k today as gpus above 4070/7900 have decent framerates. With that said my dongle started in 120hz in wayland as i realized it could make a difference. I have not been able to confirm if the colorspace is full rgb though as there is no simple way and i did search around. It looks good so i think it is full rgb. So now i am a bit torn between 7900xt and 4070ti super......

Nice video, very clarifying; thanks! Currently running arch with 7900xtx and 7950x3d without any issues. Windows was quite slow, even with this hardware, so Linux definitely enables this hardware. :muscle: As a side-tip; try and reduce the number cut-snips in your video since they are distracting.
Isn't the FIRST ISSUE to deal with when switching to Linux - the HARDWARE you're going to use for your Linux box? IOW, which combo will give you better performance: all AMD, or Intel-AMD? ( Intel CPU and AMD GPU)
having really annoying issues with nvidia. drivers not starting correctly (need to restart the PC) or defaulting onto the nouveau drivers (had to deactivate them manually) and more. cant get my hand on a decent AMD over just because the GPU market never really recovered and GPUs are still double the price they should be and thats super annoying.
Its all fun and games until you need rocm drivers in AMD and the experience is the complete opposite from NVIDIA. Its mess, they're usually a pain to install on a lot of distros and broken on alot of software (for example substance painter) and they dont support half the features cuda does. For gaming AMD is amazing on linux and plug and play, for work/rendering its just painful
Manjaro??? God no. I couldn't even install the OS!!! KEPT FAILING. If you want a easy to install. Highly customizable arch based distro. CachyOS all the way.

If you want radeon chill the closets thing is changing your power profile with the use of LACT to power save EDIT: use gamescope, i posted a tutorial very recently about strecthed res and that explains how to use Gamescope, you can specify the resolution you want for your game and stretch it so it fills your screen th-cam.com/video/kKF_6OHXwzg/w-d-xo.html

I recommend opensuse tumbleweed to another viewer and he doesnt have any complaints, i would watch my opensuse tumbleweed video as it includes some things i faced and how i fixed them :) Are you using amd or nvidia tho?
@@the_otamatone yeah you do need to, i just remember opensuse being a bit different with installing those drivers You add the repo then you do a command which installs the correct driver for your gpu en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers So do this zypper install openSUSE-repos-NVIDIA Then zypper install-new-recommends --repo NVIDIA Which will install the correct one

@@linuxnext Thank you very much for your response and your channel. It is a great resource for those of us who are new to Linux.

@CaracuSC yeah i wouldn't say Nvidia is perfect yet, it still has some problems, maybe 560 driver will improve these other problems on wayland Nobara should have a rather easy setup for davinci resolve in there gui i think You can also base what you need from the arch wiki wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve It might be better to use the opencl amd instead of rocm opencl but unsure if you can get it on fedora/nobara, it supposedly works better for amd if you check the wiki

Make sure you get a distro with the new linux kernel version 6.3 and up. With Ubuntu 24.04 LTS you have Kernel 6.8 and think the Mesa version 24. Seems to work fine with Ubuntu so far.

Do you have a problem on KDE with Wayland like mine? When I turn on VRR and the monitor flickers if there is movement on the screen, for example, a game or a native program on Wayland is running. If I disable VRR (adaptive synchronization) in the display settings, then these flickers disappear.
i had the same issue - this isn't an issue with either kde or wayland, but the actual monitor itself - check to see if you have amd freesync turned on, if it is, turn it off; this stops flickering all together
I do have flicker when my games fps goes under around 40fps, but it was worse before when my power profile was on the default that arch had, after switching it to 3d full screen in lact it was a lot better. When screen tearing arrives in kwin for kde, which will be in 6.1 or sooner those flickers should stop as when you go under your vrr it should tear for you so in turn disables vrr
@@linuxnext Do you have latency on linux with amd video card? When you move an image from one monitor to another or in games, are the movements on the monitor smooth?

Distros that use kernel 6.9 and mesa 24.1 or above should suffice, distros like nobara, fedora, arch based distros, opensuse tumbleweed should work well on that gpu Id also get LACT and make sure your using the highest power profile so that the gpu can run at the best it can github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT

@@Phanbot01 Did you notice any major differences from Fedora based vs Arch for game installation and compatibility? Thanks for answering so fast. I plan to avoid hopping if possible.
@@TheCgOrion All I did with these distros is gaming and web browsing. I recently opened a Usenet account and downloaded some music and other questionable materials out of curiosity. I never noticed a difference in the performance of Nobara versus Arch. I didn't do a full benchmarking. If I installed a game and it worked without any major head banging, I was happy.
Wow, this was the PERFECT video to get in my recommendation. I just brought an all AMD laptop which ill of course be installing linux on. Thanks for the video!
AMD driver in Linux is more stable than in Windows, I face crash so often only when browsing with Chrome in Windows, which is weird I never got error on any Linux
AMD and Linux is pretty good. Just a few issues I've encountered.
Screen flickering with external monitors and random system freezes. Both are related to the mobile AMD cards though.
Thank you very much, Lact was the software I was looking for. 👍
Nvidia experience on Linux:
1. Install Arch
2. Install nvidia-dkms
3. Avoid Wayland like the plague
4. Enjoy
Ok well that isnt as picture perfect as it would be.
Lets say i want hdr for games welp cant do that on x11
Lets say i want gsync on my monitor, welp gonna need only one monitor plugged in to use gsync properly
Can i have multi monitor refresh rates without x11 choosing to use the lowest refresh rate of those monitors? Nope
You also can see that x11 devs are working on wayland and xwayland now, so x11 is going eol, this also goes for desktop environments like kde plasma fully focusing on wayland issues first instead of x11
There is no point using x11 if those features that people need are not available under it
Wayland on the other hand does support all of those features and you can use vrr instead of gsync, desktop environments like kde plasma and gnome are quite stable now, even wms like hyperland do a good job with wayland
If those features or problems dont disturb you then by all means use x11.
But me as a user and a content creator im going to recommend wayland as it supports present day features that x11 simply doesnt.
And if your nvidia you'll be able to use wayland, because of nvidia finally implementing explicit sync, so you wont get major problems when trying to use wayland on your card. This wont be arriving till around may or june tho
@@linuxnext "Can i have multi monitor refresh rates without x11 choosing to use the lowest refresh rate of those monitors? Nope "
actually you can, for nvidia it's documented in the nvidia x11 documentation. You set an environment variable to choose which display to sync opengl refresh rate to.
As for global hotkeys in gpu screen recorder on wayland, it will likely never be supported since it's fundamentally broken in wayland and its unclear if it will ever be fixed. Maybe they will invent yet another protocol to do it properly this time.
@@notuxnobux
Yes but by default it's gonna behave like i said, as a normie user they wouldnt know how to do this and go oh well im going back to windows
Also xdg-desktop portal global hotkeys

Apps like vesktop are proposing it aswell so their discord can have hotkeys
Nah. No need. But you do you.
@@linuxnext yes thats true, but it's really a desktop environment issue. There is the option to fix tearing too but desktop environments dont have an option for that.
As for that desktop portal im aware of it, I have used it. It's broken by design.
Thanks for this video. Answers most of my guestions. Im done with Windows shit, clean install of Win 10 since I upgraded CPU and less then a week passed and its already freaking out (unresponsive start/taskbar after login). I had some experience with Mint but didnt really try gaming. Im gonna try Fedora/Manjaro and see whats what.
Fedora and manjaro are good choices for amd as they update the kernel and drivers frequently and are rather "stable"
Same but with 11, I wiped all my 10 and 11s when Recall was announced, though I found 10 less problematic, the file explorer is the most common break in my experience. I had been on Nobara for months and just went to Nobara KDE on both my main rigs: AMD and Nvidia ones. I've also gamed on Manjaro, they too have/had Steam preinstalled also last I used it (played WoW: Shadowlands last xpac on it). I ended up with Nobara & Bottles (bnet launcher gets GE Proton 9-5 and it's own bottle, mostly play WoW). Steam Compatibility is nice for Windows games, it can break in an update though, I tried Lutris not sure if that helped then ended up back on Bottles for gaming. I like that Bottles once it is setup feels stable. Only way I in the past fixed those Windows taskbar breaks was usually fresh install. Would give Linux Gaming a try, It's nice having a less bloated OS in the background while you game and am also happy with my file serving/HTPC needs being handled well.
My experience with amd was half good and half bad. Good side is gaming is great. Bad side is, I can't use hardware encoding for my streams. My gpu (6700xt) goes 100% usage and max clocks when doing so, and this causes fps drops in games. Even the recoding looks like 1 frame per 10 seconds
Till this day I havent fixed it or found anything that can fix it
Whaaaat, vaapi exists in obs, what obs package are you using?
Iv been using vaapi which is gpu encoding for amd
And soon obs devs will be releasing a new feature for linux users who stream or record called texture encoding for vaapi on amd which means 0% of the frames being encoded will be sent to the cpu, and instead will be used all on the gpu side, because with vaapi right now still sends frames to the cpu and back which does increase the cpu usage but only by 1 to 3% if your streaming at 1080p 6k bitrate, with this tho it will bring it on par with windows encoding in terms of performance when streaming or recording
github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/10137
To get vaapi you need to change your stream and recording settings to advanced to see it, im using flatpak which is the official way of getting the right depends for obs studio
You should pick tumbleweed, because it's better and uses kde. Arch doesn't do secure boot without hacks.
I have used tumbleweed, its great but arch updates quicker for me, arch also can use kde by default as installing arch with archinstall lets you pick what desktop you want or window manager aswell
Been on Nobara KDE, great on my 4090 rig and 7800XT. I should check my 7900XTX see how that runs but it's been good both for Nvidia and AMD so far. I've been stable a few months/so not distro hopped, nested. I did start gaming years ago on Nvidia Manjaro, then did some on Arco Linux, now it's been Nobara. I think both Arch based and Fedora/Fedora based are comfortable for me to game in. I've used all the families for everyday things just 7000 series had to manually install firmware on 7800XT for Debian 12, that took a lot of looking up how to do things, and I wanted a more modern distro after solving that.
Wealthy man
In 99% of cases amd is better. Nivida is only really worth it in niche scenarios.
One multimonitor issue I can't resolve is the cursor being able to leave full screen games and end up an a side screen. Never had that issue with windows. Had it on every distro I've tried.
Which games?
@@linuxnext Bethesda games. But in my experience all steam games behave the same way on Linux.
@SecretlySeven haha yeah id been playing those the past couple of days because it was on sale, to fix it you need to enable a cursor option in the winecfg in input called capture cursor automatically in fullscreen windows, i used proton tricks to change it on the fallout games like 76 and 4
Thats quite odd that happens tho, the only other games that the cursor can escape fullscreen is apex legends that i know off and its got to do with it running under xwayland so when native wayland for wine gets supported those should get fixed
@@linuxnext I just moved my screen placement so to go to the other screen is now the bottom of my screen. I don't have the issue anymore. Proton tricks and winecfg are beyond me. I use Nobara because to play steam games and stream with OBS everything works out of the box.
I had a nvidia card that i replaced with a 7900xtx and had many many issues getting graphics drivers to run with kernel complains. I had updated my kernel and that was not a good idea with radeon. I had to scrub all other kernels and after tinkering i got it running. But the issue with no 120hz with hdmi was a no go and trying my 8k dongle worked in 100hz in windows but onluy 60hz in linux. Added 100hz and 120hz manually witth xrandr but something else was proberly off but lact didnt have settings for color, resolution and those things. Buying and testing more dongles is not something i find very attractive as a solution. If i am not misstaken this issue with hdmi has been there 2 years or so and no comment from amd on a solution on the horizon. I am giving up as no hdmi 2.1 support is not ok for me as dongles is a very poor solution and spending more money for something that amd has not fixed in such a long time is not promising. I dont care for reasons for this as those doesnt matter as i cannot use the card properly. Open source is great but amd not working/offering a proprietery solution at the same time until hdmi open their code to be used in amd open source driver is not great. It is ot good for linux users and this would not have happened in windows. I guess the user base is much lower in linux so they get away with it. Its a bit sad for me as radeon works better for gaming in linux!
Amd did respond about hdmi 2.1, this was very recent, hdmi denied amds proposal for hdmi 2.1 support to be enabled in the open source drivers
www.techradar.com/pro/amd-just-had-its-proposition-for-a-new-open-source-hdmi-driver-rejected
This case is very valid but the majority of users use display port not hdmi when it comes to playing games on pcs, this isnt amds fault, they tried for MONTHS to bring support for hdmi 2.1 and they got denied, even other companies like intel had to use a display port to hdmi converter on the gpus board directly to get around hdmi's stupid rules
So if you want those high refresh rates, with big resolutions, then display port is the only option, and this makes sense display port has the most ports on todays gpus, not hdmi and display port is a open standard, and doesn't cost money to use display port unlike hdmi where you do need to pay for having hdmi on those gpus
@@linuxnext hdmi forum rejected their solution recently but i dont think it was a surprise. For amd to mess around for 2 years and not fixing a solution with hdmi forum is very bad and slow management. Wouldnt the solution amd worked on have made hdmi code public and open source? Amd could have worked simulteinously on a solution in line with hdmi forum from the start if they wanted to. I really dont think it is ok to treat their customers this way. Most game with monitors i would guess is hard to know, but there is a bunch that use tvs as monitors. Probably not any competative gamers. 120hz isnt that special in 4k today as gpus above 4070/7900 have decent framerates. With that said my dongle started in 120hz in wayland as i realized it could make a difference. I have not been able to confirm if the colorspace is full rgb though as there is no simple way and i did search around. It looks good so i think it is full rgb. So now i am a bit torn between 7900xt and 4070ti super......

Nice video, very clarifying; thanks! Currently running arch with 7900xtx and 7950x3d without any issues. Windows was quite slow, even with this hardware, so Linux definitely enables this hardware. :muscle: As a side-tip; try and reduce the number cut-snips in your video since they are distracting.
Isn't the FIRST ISSUE to deal with when switching to Linux - the HARDWARE you're going to use for your Linux box?
IOW, which combo will give you better performance: all AMD, or Intel-AMD? ( Intel CPU and AMD GPU)
Yeah, amd + amd, intel + amd both work fine
having really annoying issues with nvidia. drivers not starting correctly (need to restart the PC) or defaulting onto the nouveau drivers (had to deactivate them manually) and more.
cant get my hand on a decent AMD over just because the GPU market never really recovered and GPUs are still double the price they should be and thats super annoying.
What distro are you using?
if only i could turn off my rgbs :
What rgb are you trying to turn off?
Garuda!
Its all fun and games until you need rocm drivers in AMD and the experience is the complete opposite from NVIDIA. Its mess, they're usually a pain to install on a lot of distros and broken on alot of software (for example substance painter) and they dont support half the features cuda does. For gaming AMD is amazing on linux and plug and play, for work/rendering its just painful
It's good until you need openCL on a laptop with integrated graphics.
Welp :P
Manjaro??? God no. I couldn't even install the OS!!! KEPT FAILING. If you want a easy to install. Highly customizable arch based distro. CachyOS all the way.

If you want radeon chill the closets thing is changing your power profile with the use of LACT to power save

Nvidia
I used to use linux, but i switched back for gaming. (This was a long time a go and windows has only gotten worse)
If i have to use the proprietary drivers, then so be it. I just really don't want to have ads and be spyed on by my own computer.
@@the_otamatone yeah you do need to, i just remember opensuse being a bit different with installing those drivers
You add the repo then you do a command which installs the correct driver for your gpu

So do this
zypper install openSUSE-repos-NVIDIA
Then
zypper install-new-recommends --repo NVIDIA
Which will install the correct one

that video has been on the list for a while as someone else was asking for it also, and yes you do have to install one depend for hardware accel to work properly under amd which is pretty easy depending on the distro you are using
thanks for the dono also, appreciate it :)
@@linuxnext Thank you very much for your response and your channel. It is a great resource for those of us who are new to Linux. I was wondering what GPU have you got on your system, just out of curiosity. I am hesitant to buy an Nvidia GPU, but I've heard it is a lot better these days with the new drivers. I Am using Nobara 40, GNOME with Wayland. I'll give the ROCM dependency a try and see if it works, hopefully it won't be too difficult to set it up. Thanks!
@CaracuSC yeah i wouldn't say Nvidia is perfect yet, it still has some problems, maybe 560 driver will improve these other problems on wayland
Nobara should have a rather easy setup for davinci resolve in there gui i think
You can also base what you need from the arch wiki

Yes I had it too.
i had the same issue - this isn't an issue with either kde or wayland, but the actual monitor itself - check to see if you have amd freesync turned on, if it is, turn it off; this stops flickering all together
I do have flicker when my games fps goes under around 40fps, but it was worse before when my power profile was on the default that arch had, after switching it to 3d full screen in lact it was a lot better.
