People are always mixing up kernel and user space...
What and what ???
Or you're telling me just excuses, but it's already possible if I jump through hoops, hack half-way through the kernel and write my own control panel ?
Because some people have these weird idea that this is doable for everybody.

Besides, there's no command anywhere that I can copy-past in the terminal to change something.
For me this is as good as non-existing.
I don't have the knowledge or the time to do AMD's job.
That's why I paid a lot of money for their product and they do their job on Windows, but for some reason they refuse to make that control panel cross-platform.
So yeah, this sucks,but what sucks more is the fact that there's not improvement in this area for many years.

I know there is stiff opposition to it. I just dont know why that opposition exists, I've never seen a straight answer.
And so its said, no, I dont expect my UI to be windows-ish. I expect my UI to be linux-ish. So can someone please explain to me what exactly is the problem???

With the exception of FreeSync (which is controlled via xrandr) all of the driver functionality which has been implemented can also be controlled via sysfs or simiilar. If there isn't a way to enable functionality that usually means the driver does not *have* that functionality yet, and adding a control panel won't do anything to change that.Test signature

Examples include...
Fan control - You can't, there is no interface to adjust fan curves.
Override AA/AF - You can't, mesa doesn't support it and there is no interface to do it.
Display Settings - Sorta/Kinda, AMD believes it's up to the DE to write display interfaces so they just refuse.
Custom Modes - Sorta/Kinda, goes with display settings also, but can only be configured in kernel.
etc, etc...
