AMD actually, newer 7900 xtx I think. It wasn't a problem with the Linux desktop environment, but games crashing. At the time I didn't have much time or patience to get it set up :/

Win 11 just isn't going to happen though, too many good options now. If something doesn't work by then 🤷‍♂️, guess it isn't that important.

7900xt user here on Ubuntu lts: what worked for me was finding some Valve engineer’s ppa that has mesa drivers with modern chip support. I was honestly pretty pissed at how much work it was to get my gpu working in Linux after hearing so much about how good it has gotten. My experience was basically the same as ten years ago: a pain in the ass.

I will say it’s working great now though.
