    AMD (or anything that uses Mesa drivers really) just works out of the box. That pain is unique to NVIDIA.

      Presumably some games at some point needed the user to update the kernel for an updated AMD driver?

        It is definitely relevant if you buy new hardware when it’s initially released, although Mesa devs seem to be getting better at having it mostly ready by that point. I know historically there were times where you really had to be at the very bleeding edge, and updating to the very latest kernel and firmware was necessary.
