From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Prior to this news....how has it been?
Pretty good if you stick to linux. Better than NVidia since that's what I had before.
Yeah, I'm having a lot of trouble with my Nvidia card right now in Garuda Arch. It's a 1060, so about time to update anyway.
Good, not great.
Amd has better gfx performance, but they're actually close in a lot of areas, if you don't need graphics and want compute probably better.
Id say it doesn't compete with Nvidia at all because if you're thinking green your concerns are so different nothing will sell you.
But holy shit the av1 encode is like nothing else on the planet. Multiple streams at 12x and it just barely ticks over.
also have an arc and I found it better than even amd considering it had easy opencl support.
