I think you can do this at the login screen right?
Itâs a highly proprietary industry. Thereâs about 6 people that sell non-public, *nix-only miners and bioses to serious people that make any freeware/open-source ones look like a joke.
That, or they run it themselves silently and laugh all the way to the bank.

Yeah you can last time I checked, but why would I do that -_-
If I was serious enough to upgrade today, which card would you guys recommend
If youâre dead set on fedora, the RX 4/560 is the only sanely priced option.
If you donât mind distro hopping or installing the x11 version of fedora (if you preserve your /home partition then itâs like a system restore, you donât lose any files) then the 3g 1060 is probably the sweet spot in our current, terrible market.
But if youâre distro hopping, thereâs no need to buy a new card, because you can just install AMDGPU-PRO
EDIT: I lied, Tahiti seems to be mysteriously unsupported. You have like, 1 of 2 chips that donât get support, the other being the 7970/280X
Well i would atleast give it a try.
I have not used Fedora in a while, thats why i tagged eden, since he is an Fedora user.
But an RX580 is probablly a good choice.
The Cinnamon version of Fedora doesnt use Wayland.
But yeah you could also log into X on Gnome.
Yea ill try it out. F this it would take me 20 min to reinstall if I f something up, gg /home partition preservation,
also which fedora spin has x and refuses to use wayland lel
edit nvm thanks for answer
Well Cinnamon, XFCE, Mate, LXDE.
Non of those desktops use Wayland as far as i know.
wat, so no use trying it out?
Wait, I lied again, thereâs no official support for Tahiti but it still seems to improve gaming, just not OpenCL
There will likely never be support for tahiti on the OSS drivers though, so itâs worth a shot as long as you donât want to mine or use hashcat
tryied logging in and back
useless endeavour
Do I feel like reinstalling another spin for a crap gfx card? 
slapshod on the fly research requires a certain amount of lying by accident
inb4 AMD apologists start yelling about wayland support and saying the Vega price gouges are being perpetrated by the illuminati
the reptilians are hoarding dem gpus for soul mining
inb4 becoming a console peasant,
also inb4 buying into the apple egosystem and enabling cortana to google search the price of an amazon echo

To be fair GPU performance on unix is literally the bizarro-world version of the windows situation
Nvidia on Unix has the best long term support and performance on older cards, whereas AMD cards break support and perfomance degrades the older the cards get, and just plain donât support certain flavors (BSD)
Literally Nvidia FineWine⢠vs. AMD GimpWorksâ˘
Also, OS X is far less offensive than Windows at this point. 10S is a disgusting look into the future of that platform.
Couldnât Apple do what Microsoft did to windows, thatâs if telemetry is not already baked in the os?
They already do to a certain extent, but they arenât nearly as egregious, and most of it is opt-ins by using itunes etc.
If I couldnât use FreeBSD on my work machine, OS X would by my second choice. Then OpenBSD, then OS/2, then TempleOS, then Linux, then Windows 7/8.1.
With the new open driver that should be a thing of the past.
I donât see tahiti support anywhere on the roadmap.
