I use a 6800XT with Debian 12. As long as you have the `non-free-firmware` repo enabled in Debian 12 (it is by default), AMD cards should just work.

I've played quite a few games on Linux. Performance is still better on Windows though.

I'm using Debian testing with a RX7600XT . Performance it's the same or better on Linux. Helps a lot that the OS isn't a spam/spyware suite.

That isn’t my experience at all. e.g Helldivers 2 I have to lower to medium setting, Black Myth Wukong I have to run at lower settings than Windows. This is with Debian Testing.

It isn’t just I that have observed this. I have a friend using Arch and he noticed there is a higher input latency and worse performance.

I’ve also noticed some weird mouse behaviour in Doom Eternal.

It is enough of a difference that I just reboot into Windows now to play games.
