Quoting: liamdaweYou should remember not everyone uses Linux for just freedom, there's many reasons. You should just accept others choices and move on. Not everyone needs a lecture and we don't need an AMD topic derailed because of it :)
^ This. If anyone don't accept thats i buy NVIDIA is a Nazi. The freedom is the choice in Software and Hardware and if a Hardware have poor drivers i don't buy the Hardware, thats MY choice.

But if you tell people what Hardware they should buy is a dictation and has nothing to do with freedom.

Not all things comes from germany. Mutter (englisch) = Murmeln (german).

Quoting: melkemindWhen you run the Vulkan drivers, do they function well/normally with the desktop and other games, or do you have to switch back to other drivers when you're not testing Vulkan?
They're absolutely fine with everything else. (I'm using the 364.16 right now.)
364.16? Realy? Or did you mean 364.15?
