  • The article’s interpretation is wrong.

    From the chart, talking about Spider-Man Remastered:

    Released about 6 months ago and has sold 400K fewer games than Days Gone

    Is saying (at least in my interpretation) that it took Spider-Man Remastered about a third (really, less, since Days Gone released longer than 1.5 years before that) the time to do 75% of the sales of Days Gone.

    In any case, DSO gaming says that:

    Spider-Man Remastered came out six months after its console release

    which is verifiably false. Spider-Man remastered came out in November of 2020, while the PC release was 2022. The chart referring to “6 months ago” is saying the game released on PC about 6 months prior to February 2023.

    The article is also saying that the chart implies:

    The best strategy for Sony is to release its game 1-2 years after their console release.

    Which isn’t what the chart shows or implies at all. It implies only that (popular) games that are for sale longer sell more copies. Which is kind of a “duh” implication.












  • So…what can I do? Neon is mostly Ubuntu 22.04 to most effects. Kernel is 6.2.0-36-generic.

    The kernel in use should support RDNA3, I believe.

    Edit: judging from the comment made a bit ago, it wasn’t the kernel or mesa, they were just missing the firmware. And yeah, that’ll do it. I remember being frustrated with my 7900xtx not working on Pop! before I pulled in the firmware back on release.


  • As others have said “Ya doin it wrong!”

    AMD has the AMDGPU kernel driver already in place in the linux kernel, and excluding the newest generations of cards for about a month or two after they come out, that part should work fine. Additionally, you need Mesa installed for the userspace drivers. It is typically preinstalled and covers the OpenGL and Vulkan drivers for your card.

    Pretty much the only time you want to run the driver from AMD’s site is if you’re using some particular professional applications, otherwise Mesa tends to outperform it. There are relatively few games that AMDVLK (the AMD official open source Vulkan driver) is ahead, and it’s got an edge in most (all?) raytracing cases currently.

    Lastly, the reason it doesn’t work is because the driver install script is checking your os-release version to see if it matches the Ubuntu version it was packaged for. If you’re confident that you can fix any problems that arise from doing this, you could presumably just change the string in /etc/os-release to match what it’s looking for. I don’t recommend doing this, though, unless you don’t care if the drivers break things because they weren’t packaged for the release you’re using.
