📰 Yet Another Fix Coming For Older AMD GPUs On Linux - Thanks To Valve Developer Timur Kristóf of Valve's open-source Linux graphics driver team has been doing a fantastic job enhancing the older AMD Radeon GPU support under Linux. Last year he made enough improvements to the AMDGPU open-source driver that older Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 dGPUs switched over to AMDGPU by default for nice performance gains, RADV Vulkan driver support out of the box, and all around better experience than using the legacy Radeon driver. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Hawaii-Macs-AMDGPU-DC-Fix #opensource#linux#amd

Rudra is a new spin on this old staple – albeit without the extensibility dedicated quick launchers provide.
