Hey all,
I am considering building my fiance a Ryzen 5 2400G based system for Linux desktop use.
The GPU on it is apparently Vega based. I remembered from back when I last had an AMD GPU in my main rig, that while Nvidia's closed drivers are the best source, the reverse engineered open source drivers from the Xorg project are the best to use with AMD GPU's.
I also remembered that I used to monitor the Xorg Radeon Feature page with baited breath hoping for more functionality, so that's the first place I looked to see how mature Vega currently is on linux, but to my surprise the last GPU arch on that list is Arctic Islands. Vega is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone have any experience with Vega in Linux? What gives? Does it work well? Are all features supported?
Much Appreciated!
