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.

Is the Vega 11 enough for 4K video? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello, I'm looking to setup a simple Linux-based media center PC, as I really can't stand ad ridden TV interfaces, using an old tiny Lenovo Thinkcentre with a Ryzen 5 2400GE or something similar.

Does anyone have any experience with rendering 4K video on such a weak iGPU? All the information I seem to find is Windows only.

Hope I'm not in the wrong community.

Somehow missed the 11 and for a second I thought you wanted to put a Vega 7 in a mini PC just for video playback 😅

But a Vega 11 should be fine. It's mainly about the video acceleration chip a GPU has built in and less about its overall power in computing.
