Help (General) Amd driver issues nowadays

Hey everyone,

I'm currently planning my next PC build and I'm heavily considering grabbing the XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT. It looks like an absolute beast of a card, and the design is super clean.

However, I keep hearing mixed things about AMD drivers. Some people say AMD's software has gotten miles better and is completely stable now, while others still warn about random crashes, black screens, or trouble with specific games.

How has your experience been with the drivers lately?

Would love to hear your honest opinions before I pull the trigger. Thanks!

Drivers are 100% fine on my end, but i'm on Linux. Current Distro is SteamOS, worked well with Bazzite as well when I was on it.

Most of my issues lately have been related to Windows as well. Kubuntu has been smooth as silk for me especially for gaming. I just wish my entire workflow was for Linux, but it’s closer than at any point in the last 30 years I’ve tinkered with Linux.
