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.

How to get the best out of Radeo GPUs (lemmy.kde.social)

Hi all, I have just built my first PC ever. And having dealt with nvidia the last 5 years on Linux and experiencing the pain first hand, I went all AMD. For now, I only have the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and this things is a beast (I'm saving up for an AMD GPU). The only thing I do is emulate some old games. I'm still getting some hiccups here and there and wanted to make sure I'm getting the best out of it. What drivers do I need to look for to get the best out of their Radeon GPU? I already have amd ucode and mesa installed out of the box. I've found a driver called "lib32-vulkan-radeon" in the arch repos. Do I need to install that one? If anyone is kind enough to list the packages that I need to look for and download I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you
