Mageia 8 RC1 Brings AMDGPU For GCN 1.0/1.1, NVIDIA GLVND, Linux 5.10 LTS

and we have kept the fallback available, so they can boot with:
radeon.si_support=1 amdgpu.si_support=0
or
radeon.cik_support=1 amdgpu.cik_support=0

to get back to radeon/ati setup.

I suppose we could require them to download and print instructions for going back to radeon before installing the latest distro update, but otherwise they are going to be sitting with a black screen and no way to find out out how to go back.

well, that's what release notes are for
if people dont care to read them, they get to keep the bits ...
And they can still boot back to the older kernel if the new kernel does not get any display.

And I'm also thinking of handling upgrades separately by keeping them on radeon/ati and only new installs will default to amdgpu...

I just checked and Plasma under Wayland is working just fine.
