This is so immensely true. I’ve been so enthusiastically loyal to intel gpus in the last ten years or so (avoiding laptops with any kind of discrete gpus) because dealing with closed drivers is so much pain.

I’m still skeptical about amd gpus, even though i hear good stuff about it.

I kist want hardware i can trust, knowing I won’t have dumb driver issues.
