AMD GPU and Sofware

I was excited for my switch to an AMD GPU since people claim, it is so much better on linux.

I ditched my RTX3070 for a RX 9070XT. I didn't bother to do any benchmarks since i also upgraded from an 5600x to a 7800x3d.

So far the overall upgrade is a blast and i can even run poorly optimized UE5 games without up scaling on 1080p.

However, i don't see any difference to Nvidia when it comes to drivers and compatibility.

I use linux for 2 years now. started with mint, went to Nobara and got stuck with garuda. All on Nvidia. I never had Issues. People still claim it's bad. Maybe it was in the past and people are just used to saying it.
But I'm happy both brands work in linux machines, even though i grew to dislike nvidia as a company over the last few years.

There is another claim i see in forums:
"i never needed adrenaline in linux, because everything just works"

ngl. i've seen this type of comment A LOT.
People ask for adrenaline, or the features it provides and commenters just shrug it off and say you don't need it, because it works. and not in a single of these threads anybody argued over it.

In my opinion it is a shame that i buy a 600€ card and i miss out on features because I'm on linux.
Whether you like AI frame generation or not. it IS a feature of your card that you paid for.
On windows you can just turn it on for ANY game in the adrenaline software.
it isn't the only feature.

The argument "you don't need i because it just works" is nonsense, because "it just works" on windows too.

i wasn't a fan of geforce experience.
But i actually like the adrenaline software. it's a bit unintuitive to navigate but it got all important features in one program that you can even activate in an in game overlay.

on windows i can press alt+r and force star citizen to render at 1440p and scale it down to 1080. This game actually profits from that, because it forces more work load on the GPU, since this game is a CPU eater. i gain 7-10 fps. with just 3 clicks.

i wish they develop a linux variant of this software in the future as linux becomes more popular among gamers.
