Throwing the tarball over the wall and saying "fetch!" is meaningless to me. Until they actually contribute a driver to the upstream kernel, I'll be buying AMD.



You can just use Nouveau and NVK for that if you just need workstation graphics (and the open-gpu-modules source code/separate GSP release has been a big uplift to Nouveau too, at least.)


Nouveau is great, and I absolutely admire what the community around it has been able to achieve. But I can't imagine choosing that over AMD's first class upstream driver support today.


IIRC hardware video decoding of HEVC didn't work for me with nouveau
