No patience to wait for the new AMD crop, so rebuilt my tower system. Dumped Intel! All F/OSS hardware support. Let the games begin!

OS: Slackware 14.2 x86_64 (post 14.2 -current) x8
Host: X570 AORUS ELITE -CF
Kernel: 5.4.71
Uptime: 2 hours, 56 mins

Added 240 mm dual fan Cooler Master liquid cooling to the CPU, and although I still need to tweak the fan profiles, thermals are A-OK.

So far so good on my switch to amdgpu or games. There are a few glitches here and there. It seems Nvidia has quite a lock on game devs on Linux. Here's hoping that Vulkan turns that around.
Slackware64-current multilib (15.0 "real soon now")
Linux 5.4.55 #1 SMP x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6850K CPU @ 3.60GHz
XFX Radeon 5700 XT THICC III Ultra

As soon as Slackware64 hits 15.0 RC I'll switch over to the new Ryzen 7 3800X miniITX build - assuming of course I can find a AMD GPU small enough to fit the miniITX case!

Not to be an OS snob, but I only accept friend invitations from players who are primarily Linux Gamers. Occassional forays via WINE, DOSBOX, or even Windows is acceptable for classic titles.

Leave a comment here with your Linux distro and hardware specs when sending an invite.
