@dasgeek My Ryzen 9 3900X is on the way. Good to know I can use Pop!_OS if nothing else while waiting for proper patches to land. If only they had a KDE version I would probably use them full time.

@dasgeek They are pretty good about implementing fixes for all kinds of stuff. A lot of the upstream gnome performance fixes that aren’t in other distros have been implemented as well. I’m constantly impressed by those folks. Used to think it was just Ubuntu with a pretty theme but they are consistently knocking it out out of the park.

@dasgeek can’t wait to get the ryzen 9

Valve: latest Linux gaming work boosting AMD Vulkan framerates up to 44% (!)

Even in its infancy, this new shader compiler is resulting in a 44% framerate boost on certain AMD graphics cards.

In one particular DX11 game, it's even beating Windows even though the title isn't to be played natively on Linux (but via Proton / Steam Play).
