Everything that has been said so far is entirely irrelevant and nothing new. AMD is no alternative. Graphics cards from ATI and later AMD have always been troublesome pieces of junk that have never been working right for over 20 years now. Give me a free AMD card that gives me at least the same performance and reliability as my current NVIDIA card and I'll try it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
