I love kernel stats. But they aren't the only thing that count. So always keep that in mind reading kernel stats. AMD does a lot of code and opening up for their rivals to use on other fronts as well.
The vulkan driver is not part of the kernel for instance.
And sometimes it is not always about code, but also financial support. Code support is usually when you want something to work on your hardware. Financial support is when you want somebody else work on whatever they work on, and maybe fix things for you (like dxvk).
So yeah, while kernel commit and line stats are generally nice to read, it doesn't paint the complete gnu system.
