This isn't a technical post just my general experience as I am only roughly two or three months into using Linux. But I currently am running EndeavourOS on kernel version 6.13.7, using Mesa 25.0.1 Im on KDE Plasma as my desktop using Wayland. First off I want to admit I was afraid I was going to have to run away in fear back to windows trying to use this card as previously I was on Mint and I knew I was going to have to find a different OS to use or wait or I found the XanMod kernel but that didnt work, so I switched. The card has honestly been incredibly reliable with a occasional bug but in my experience not terrible ones, Cyberpunk crashed one time when I loaded but it was one time and Ive played maybe four hours since, my login screen did freeze up once but only once and a restart fixed it. I have successfully played Cyberpunk, Marvel Rivals, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Red Dead Redemption and had no issues except the two minor ones i mentioned before. Im sorry I dont have benchmark results or something but I wanted to help provide a little more info on this card. I also should note I initially dropped 50watts off the card and it has been like this since its been in my PC. Also I dont like raytracing so your experience could be different TL/DR : She games! With very minor issues thus far. If you guys have any questions feel free I would love to help with anything!

In the future, if you ever grow tired of fixing Endeavour OS, come to Bazzite.

I was using bazzite on my Rog ally and it was a great experience, recently swapped it to cachy to try out and its been alright just a little bit harder to set up initially imo. I don't think I would consider bazzite as my main since it's fedora based but everyone has their own opinions and experiences. This is in no way hate for bazzite it really is a great os

Absolutely, if you want to squeeze every last drop of performance, Cachy is a great option provided you're willing to make the effort to tweak it. The great thing about linux distros is that there's choice.

EndeavourOS represent! I’ve also found this OS to be pretty solidly friendly to AMD cards the past couple years, maybe even more so than Windows.

So glad to hear you’re having a good experience with it - may you continue to game smoothly 🫡 /gen /pos
