The gnome is piggybacking on an already planned launch with 2 other payloads. Besides, it's all going in low earth orbit where space debris aren't really a problem (they de-orbit themselves after a while).

Quoting: subPlease consider supporting AMD.

I don't really mind proprietary games, but as a Linux user
I clearly want my computer infrastructure being as open as possible.
Hardware, drivers and libs.

This is where AMD shines, if you're smart enough to value this.

Or just be a conscious customer and evaluate products properly instead of relying on ideologies only.

As if AMD's GPU's clearly suck compared to NVIDIA's value-wise.
No they don't, and the diff between them is mostly ideological to begin with. The latter abhors public software model, the former at least partially supports it. So the ideology starts with the vendor in this case, rather than with the consumer.

Let's not forget that until this generation, AMD was miles behind Nvidia in terms of performance
Not to mention that you're basically beta (or sometimes it's better said alpha lol) testing their drivers for the first few months of use until they actually get to a point that they are ok.

Now don't get me wrong, I hope AMD does become a viable alternative and fierce opponent to Nvidia, but they cannot win my trust overnight. It will be a while until that. I can't trust them in the GPU space just as I cannot trust Intel in the CPU space. They have a long history of mistakes, bad products and laziness (including over-rebranding old products).
I do expect them to make it right and heal their reputation, but until then, I will wait.

And no, I'm not an Nvidia fanboy at all. I just want to go with the product that has the best chance of working well and offers the performance I need. Just as I used to choose Intel over AMD for CPUs in the past (for similar reasons) and eventually the situation made a complete switch to the point I'd avoid Intel like the plague, this could happen also in the GPU space but it's not yet the case.

Quoting: mosCool.
The only detail I'm currently interested in though is WHEN THE FECKING rdna1 PRICES WILL GO DOWN

On an entirely selfish level, hopefully not before I sell my Red Devil

Quoting: GuestI think you just simply don't know what nvidia-settings can do(more than your average DE's display settings) and think that amd and intel does everything perfectly out-of-the-box. They don't. Linux display configuration is decades behind windows and nvidia-settings is just a small consolation.

Quoting: GuestThe rtx2080 is a 600$ GPU

Quoting: GuestMy rtx 2080 delivers more performance with less watts than the average 5700xt.

Quoting: GuestEvery product is different

how is one (green) GPU is fundamentally different from another (red) pray enlighten us.

the rest of the post is just not worth of replying to really.

I already enumerated them but let's do it again: driver stability, driver updating, price/performance, cooling solutions(performance/noise, heat(affects other components too), OC headroom), performance/watts, generic OC headroom, 3rd-party warranty programs, special features(gsync, freesync, wayland, KMS, RTX, DLSS etc.). You can't make an informed purchase without knowing about these.
