I would say that enabling DC by default in amdgpu is a pre-requisite for enabling amdgpu by default - don't think it would make sense for them to happen together. At this point Mr Cooper usually reminds me about the other pre-requisite I'm forgetting...

There are tons to Freesync with AmdGPU-Pro, but nothing helpful to AmdGPU.

Plus the engagement we see from their devs answering questions on forums + reddit etc and the synergy we see between them and the external development community including folks from Red Hat, Valve and the public... That spirit of collaboration is just more aligned with the Linux philosophy than Nvidia is.
When I purchased my R9 290 years ago things were different. Performance was bad for AMD on Linux. I don't know how (maybe it was the formation of RTG) but they have really turned things around as far as Linux goes. Now we see continuous improvements on performance and features.Last edited by humbug; 17 March 2018, 06:23 AM.

Originally posted by humbug View PostYep, AMD is certainly now the GPU brand to recommend for the vast majority of Linux use cases. Things just work easier and are well integrated with Linux. No need to tinker with manually downloading and installing nvidia blobs.
But for any use case where uptimes longer than a few days are of importance: No way I could recommend amdgpu, yet. There are just way too frequent spontaneous crashes, even when doing completely mundane stuff (like typing text into a web form :-( ).
For the hardware I use for work, Intel's integrated GPUs are currently the only stable option I know.

I have no clue about how to set boot parameters. If you know it this may be simple.
But if you don't you will get a headache after a few minutes of research.
Also maybe a test on how Freesync support works and how it compares to Windows
Switch over to openSUSE Tumbleweed (and stop worrying about end-of-life support), start YaST2, click on 'Bootloader' and type the necessary kernel parameter there.
Yes, it really is that simple!

Code:[pete@com1 ~]$ DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --prop|grep freesync freesync_capable: 1 freesync: 1
