From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Might make me consider buying an Nvidia card in the future if they can get a reasonably performing and reliable in-kernel driver.

So what are considered the most linux-friendly GPUs?

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like a specific GPU or brand?

Most AMD stuff is pretty solid using the AMDGPU driver, including stuff from the RX4xx series onward plus various APU's pretty my own experience.

Intel stuff is usually ok but I've run into some weirdness with the Atom and some other stuff with integrated graphics

It is solid until you need to use openCL (hopefully this changes when RustiCL beats the closed AMD drivers)
