Phoronix: AMD Is Hiring More Linux Engineers For The Scheduler, Memory Management, Net I/O

It looks like AMD's rising marketshare in the data center is paying off as AMD is hiring more Linux kernel engineers...

Until AMD creates a GUI for Linux, we will always know they consider Linux users second or third class citizens.

Of course Nvidia is much, much, worse overall because they are closed source, but we shouldn't give AMD a pass for refusing to provide a Linux GUI. Especially now that they're finally making money again. With much of that due to the myriads of Linux users like me who supported them throughout their dark decade.

Even intel has no gui

Just like Intel I guess. I mean, they also have a Windows UI for their iGPUs that is not available on Linux.

GUI comes up again... Maybe someone ought to list the desired features, and then there can be an easily re-post-able comment detailing which ones won't work and why.

Why ? What problem do you have with the Indians? An engineer is good or bad regardless of nationality!

However, I am happy for this choice and I wish the newcomers good work.

Talk of AMD control panels or QT based control panels from AMD has been going on for years but nothing ever comes of it. It's very discouraging.

You should read some of the old comments.

I'd be happy to receive the old control panel, just give us something!

There is no need for a GUI for data center system management (command (line) integration with tools like ansible/puppet/chef matter). And no matter what one wishes, this year, and next year, and the year after that, is not the year of Linux on the desktop.
