How are RDNA 1 and 2 (AMD RX 5000 & 6000 series) cards on Linux nowadays? EDIT: Apparently they're quite good :) (slrpnk.net)

I read a few posts from a few years ago that they suffered from some sort of ring crash bug frequently.

If you're currently on either of those cards, how is the stability nowadays? Any hiccups or problems, or is it 100% in gaming now?

Bonus question, does the Mesa driver allow you to access the VCN video encoder on the gpu?

EDIT: Thanks for all your responses, everyone! The consensus clearly shows they're pretty balin', and definitely worthy of switching away from Nvidia to. :D

not a single issue with my 6700xt. Even Raytracing works, not that I really bother to use it since its such a pointless FPS drain, but thats besides the point.

    I have a 6700xt and can confirm it's just plug and play. No need to mess with those stupid Nvidia drivers, and the performance is pretty great.
