Finally was able to order an RX 6800, it should be delivered sometime next week. I want to make sure it’s plug and play when it gets here.

It looks like Manjaro has all the recent packages and firmware I need for it to work in the most update, unless I’m missing something? I was really hoping to avoid the linux-firmware-git package and it looks like I should be good on Manjaro Stable.

1. Kernel: 5.9.1
2. Mesa is 20.2
3. llvm is 11.0.0-1

Am I missing something here? It looks like I don’t need the AUR linux-firmware-git package.

Also double check xorg.conf and /xorg.conf.d

xorg.conf.d and 20-amdgpu.conf is required to enable Freesync support
