Baha i have the particular experience of an AMD card that is a weird age, apparently. I still have an old R9 390 which defaults to using the older-compatibility “radeon” drivers instead of the “amdgpu” drivers. Turns out this card doesn’t work terribly well with those old drivers, and can’t even play videos.
Took me a while to figure out what was wrong, testing out a fresh linux mint install to try and dip my toes in ;p
That said, i still would prefer this over the proprietary drivers and difficulty with that~
