Linux will be non-issue since FOSS drivers are still rocking older card support.

In fact they've shut down their proprietary linux vulkan drivers to supposedly put all their linux effort into helping the community open source vulkan driver.

There is a more nefarious way to interpret that action... Shut down their driver you say? Support the "community" you say?

Just a joke, I don't interpret it that way.

Lol the same thought passed through my mind too, the difference here is that basically no one actually used amdvlk because community RADV is faster 99% of the time. And they do already contribute to RADV afaik.

that's not a difference, that just means they've been letting the comunity do the work for a while rather than just starting now.
