that is true! my friends seem to have good luck with nvidia on Linux most of the time, but my builds always include at least one AMD GPU because for me they’ve always been a lot more stable and performant in Linux

my wife and i bought our most recent laptops specifically for the Ryzen chip (cos AMD is superlative about Linux support)

her cos she's a gamer and that's how to get usable gaming on a cheap secondhand ex-corporate laptop, me cos i run leengux

this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.

in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.

some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:

all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others
