Yes, and the open-source ones are not accelerated, and the closed-source ones don't work.

Please don't spread misinformation. AMD GPUs have had full 3d acceleration out of the box for several years now. I use Linux exclusively and had great performance in 3D games on R9 380, RX 570, and RX 580, all using the mainline (obviously FOSS) driver.

Yep, and the docs are freely available.

No, it's got useless crippled acceleration that's only suitable for games. You can't use them for video.

Vulkan Video is literally supported in ffmpeg.

Okay, let me know how you get on editing video in ffmpeg.

ffmpeg is one very small but important part of a complex chain.

Wow, software 3D rendering must have really gotten fast then. I play all my Steam games on Linux using the open source amdgpu driver. Or maybe I just imagined all those extra frames in RDR2. Someone should tell Valve that the Steam Deck could be a lot faster.

Or, I guess the other option is that you’re spreading misinformation.

Great. Now try editing video.

Not our fault your distro has outdated ffmpeg and mesa. Vulkan Video is nice.

Nothing uses Vulkan Video.
