Yeah, well, AMD has great support and it doesn’t even have the control panel for Linux and I can’t use Radeon Chill or AFMF at all. It’s just not even there. A 900€ graphic card I can’t really utilize fully. I know Creative is being Creative, but this is a very high end soundcard that I wouldn’t replace for anything.
The Linux install was as clean as one could get as I just installed it. As expected, I just don’t have the time or nerves to deal with any of this BS. I just want to play games when I come from work and that’s that. I still love Linux on all my multimedia devices all over my house that work perfectly and I wouldn’t ever use Windows on those again. But for this one, I’m just gonna stick with Windows as much as I hate Microsoft’s BS.
Some day in the future I might own a SteamDeck or even re-try Linux as my main OS, but that time just isn’t now yet.
If you pick hardware/features from company that don’t support your OS of choice, I don’t see this to happened, not just in future, but ever. Just picture someone buying software/hardware for Sony’s FreeBSD (PlayStation) and expecting it to work on Windows: this doesn’t make any sense.
Linux is an insane exception to this because it’s the Linux community of engineers who reverse engineered. It’s not about wait for “Linux has to be ready”, but be sure the money you thrown at your hardware are well spent.
If AMD company suddenly shut down, your hardware on Windows is just an unsecured brick which in few years become useless. On Linux it will be always supported, bug fixed and updated thanks to OpenSource drivers.
