Harsh, but probably fair as well, especially since there are issues on Windows too. I really wanted to swap over to AMD, but all these driver issues, with no solution in sight, makes it very hard. Pretty sad really, when the products themselves seem to be really good.
This is going *way* back, to when ATI existed and I had a Radeon 8500 card. Back then the drivers weren't exactly up to snuff either, and I remember we used an alternative called Omega or some such. Those drivers gave much better performance in games. Does something like that exist today?

radv is an alternative to AMD's provided Vulkan driver (amdvlk). And it's high quality.
I can play TW3 using RX 5700XT (with radv) just fine. While amdvlk produces this:

As for kernel issues, they are going to iron them out over time. 5.4-rc7 already got better.

Ah the good ol' AMD Fine Wine ...
Seriously though, Navi's launch on Linux could have been better.

It's so great to have AMD back and some real competition again, but they really need to get their drivers in order.

My estimation is that kernel 5.4.x with Mesa 19.3.x will be good enough. These are due to be out soon. Though for Mesa llvm10 so far is reported to have most bug fixes.
