How are RDNA 1 and 2 (AMD RX 5000 & 6000 series) cards on Linux nowadays? EDIT: Apparently they're quite good :) (slrpnk.net)

I read a few posts from a few years ago that they suffered from some sort of ring crash bug frequently.

If you're currently on either of those cards, how is the stability nowadays? Any hiccups or problems, or is it 100% in gaming now?

Bonus question, does the Mesa driver allow you to access the VCN video encoder on the gpu?

EDIT: Thanks for all your responses, everyone! The consensus clearly shows they're pretty balin', and definitely worthy of switching away from Nvidia to. :D

RX6800XT on Debian now has native driver support which works like a charm. Ollama with GPU support works out of the box. So does hashcat. Haven't had time to test any Linux gaming yet.

I have the same good experience with my 7900xtx. But hashcat dont work with my card. How you got hip running?
