Amd doesn't even have software for GPGPU on some of their cards. I have an rx5700xt and I cant use it for anything but gaming because ROCm doesn't support navi cards, a whole year after its release.

As a 5700 owner, I agree.

It gets even worse. There was recently a regression in the 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 kernels that hit me hard for a week or so on Manjaro last month. System just decided to lock up or restart. Thought the graphics card had died when it happened once on Windows. Working fine now-these drivers have been out for 10 months now.

Even worse, AMD has locked down the releases of some of their 'GPUOpen' software.

I did not expect the second one to be open source; just not on their GPUOpen website.

I did expect the first one to 'stay' open source. Not to be made proprietary on their 'GPUOpen' website.

I am definitely keeping an eye on Intel graphics now.

I think at this point AMD wants anything Compute to concentrate on CDNA, and graphics remain on RDNA.
