      Yet Another Fix Coming For Older AMD GPUs On Linux - Thanks To Valve Developer

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 22 February 2026

    Timur Kristóf of Valve's open-source Linux graphics driver team has been doing a fantastic job enhancing the older AMD Radeon GPU support under Linux. Last year he made enough improvements to the AMDGPU open-source driver that older Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 dGPUs switched over to AMDGPU by default for nice performance gains, RADV Vulkan driver support out of the box, and all around better experience than using the legacy Radeon driver.

But to some surprise with Linux 7.0 there are the most patches to eCryptfs that we have seen in a while...
