A change queued up last week by AMDGPU driver maintainer Alex Deucher will now default to the fullscreen 3D workload profile for discrete GPUs. AMD APUs with integrated graphics will continue to use the default “bootup” power profile but discrete graphics cards will be running in the “fullscreen 3D” power profile by default.
Which distro? Either way it is probably going to be at least a few years
No distro. I mean the next LTS version of the kernel. On Gentoo I can choose my kernel version, but it general I like to be on the stable LTS. But recently I needed to choose a more recent version for better compatibility of the amdgpu driver for the one game I am playing.
