Manjaro
Manjaro
Long ago, people always recommended using NVIDIA drivers with Linux because AMD support was consistently problematic. Recently, however, that trend has shifted noticeably over the past few years. I haven't been able to verify a clear pattern myself. Personally, my experience on a Fury was extremely frustrating—removing tearing made the system nearly unplayable. My Intel iGPU handled it much better, with the "tearfree" option actually functioning properly.
On NVIDIA systems it requires only a single command in the terminal followed by a reboot. You’re currently running a GTX 970 on a Manjaro i3 setup, installed via: sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300
AMD drivers are now integrated into the kernel. Ensure you're using a kernel version that supports your GPU.
