See darkonix's post here. Amazingly he's actually sane and not arguing with facts like a rabid fanboy.
This forum is on another level arguing with facts and their wayland/rust hysteria. And most of what I post are facts get over it you damn shills.

With AMD on Linux if I want the latest drivers I am forced to update to the latest Linux kernel version (which is not always the best idea for obvious reasons) where as with NVidia I am not.
No, you are not forced to update the kernel. Most of the driver is in user space (Mesa et al.). No, it is not obvious why updating your Linux kernel is not a great idea. Only if you have a Nvidia card will it be risky and troublesome.

See? No difference to me if they exist or not as rust source code, because compiled they won't exist.
Did you hit your head recently, or what's your problem with Rust?

I swear, if Rust had proper monads, and not just the Optional/Result monad, it would be close to a perfect systems language. But hey, you can't have it all 😁

* If you simply want a more modern version than your lts distro provides, you can also use the dkms version provided by AMD
* Upgrading the mesa driver is usually independent of upgrading the kernel driver
* The pre-packaged AMD driver has you covered her as well.

Nvidia driver is actually far superior to AMD on Linux for this reason, I can have latest drivers regardless od what Linux version I am using (as long as it’s not ancient)

It’s also possible to do both .i.e. have a driver that uses new functionality if its only in newer OS but still work on older OS. Windows has had this feature for over a
decade.
Linux stuck to what is literally 80s kernel design i.e. almost pure monolithicLast edited by mdedetrich; 02 December 2024, 06:23 AM.
