Please don't spread misinformation. AMD GPUs have had full 3d acceleration out of the box for several years now. I use Linux exclusively and had great performance in 3D games on R9 380, RX 570, and RX 580, all using the mainline (obviously FOSS) driver.

Yep, and the docs are freely available.

No, it's got useless crippled acceleration that's only suitable for games. You can't use them for video.

Vulkan Video is literally supported in ffmpeg.

Okay, let me know how you get on editing video in ffmpeg.

ffmpeg is one very small but important part of a complex chain.
