AMD's RDNA one and two graphics card owners were left in a state of confusion when AMD announced it was putting driver support into 'maintenance mode.' However, AMD clarified that owners would still get updates for new games. This news sparked concerns about Linux support, but tech site Phoronix set the record straight. Linux support for AMD GPUs is managed differently from Windows, with Linux drivers being mostly open-source and developed in parallel. AMD has decided to discontinue its own AMDVLK driver and pour support into the RADV driver, which is maintained by the open-source community. This means Linux gamers don't need to worry about Windows driver news, as AMD's decisions won't affect Linux support.
