I wanted to try the newest XFCE but these updates to Plasma make it hard to justify doing that. Ultimately the whole point of XFCE was its lighter weight WM but I don't know how true that is anymore.

This is a 2021 Q1 product at best. Unless AMD plans to bypass AIB and sell them direct. Because vendors are in the dark about these also, that means nobody has built any stock.

I keep hearing about Navi being buggy, I haven't find bugs on my navi. Maybe I hit the silicon lottery? is there any documentation about the bugs? are there any workarounds?
Most of those reports are from Windows users, or Linux users using outdated (not bleeding edge) drivers.

It says they added ray tracing, I do wonder if that is from RTX package or DXR, and how that can be done on Linux. Obviously Vulkan and Nvidia now support ray-tracing under Linux, but so far we haven't seen a single game use them even when the Windows version does.

I wonder if Fallout76 Quick Game Configuration modding tool would work in Wine? guess I'll try it out sometime. It uses similar virtual linking as Nexus Vortex app, so perhaps it should work if the damn app renders
(lots of .net type apps have render issues under wine)

Is NVIDIA going to support this someday? does this feature exist under Windows drivers.

Seems odd they'd leave such a critical feature out given how quick they are at adding extension support and fixes to their linux bin drivers.
