OMG you’re not even talking about NVIDIA… 🤦

My friend, AMD, the manufacturer that you trust, are the ones that maintain the open source drivers for Linux…

You spent 2 whole days, yet never found that you can download directly from the AMD website? What exactly were you doing for those 2 days??? www.amd.com/en/support/…/linux-drivers.html

…m.wikipedia.org/…/AMDgpu_(Linux_kernel_module)

AMDgpu is an open source device driver for the Linux operating system developed by AMD

They’re already included in Fedora, nice try, I’m not an idiot.

  Now I just want to know what commands you thought you needed to run that you found randomly on the internet lmao, like what, you had to chmod +x the installer??
  
  It makes me sad that you’re totally soured on Linux now because you didn’t realize you could update your graphics driver or that it is officially written by AMD…

  I hate to say it, but… you sure about that? The Wikipedia article addresses this exact issue:
  
  As AMDgpu is part of the monolithic Linux kernel, it is shipped by most Linux distributions directly. The package suite / install script amdgpu-pro, distributed by AMD directly from AMD Radeon Software, ships an AMDgpu kernel module somewhat reliably more up-to-date compared to that of kernels shipped in regular operating system distributions.
  
  Yes, a version of the driver is included in the Linux kernel as part of Fedora, but it is likely slightly old and you can download the latest version from AMD.

    Dude, reading comprehension, work on that, I’ve got no issue on Mint, Mint isn’t based on Fedora either.
    
    Guess you don’t know much either

    Lol ironic. Where did you “comprehend” that I claimed it was?
    
    So which GPU, and I’ll give you a leg up, don’t say “5700XT” because that one is notoriously broken for drivers, including on Windows…
