There is no AMD Adrenaline software so I can't properly use my AMD card
That's really surprising to me. I've been buying AMD only for many years now specifically because they have better Linux compatibility than Nvidia.
I think they are talking about the features of the software. On Windows, both AMD & NVIDIA has a program suite that can do a lot of things that are much more convenient than installing multiple programs and trying to configure them all.
Having an RX 6800, I'm really satisfied with it it when I boot Linux. So far it didn't let me down.
I am not talking about the drivers themselves. Like the other commenter mentioned, I am talking about the software for fine tuning your card.

What were you trying to do, out of curiosity?
What were you missing? Just curious.
On the bright side in Linux we have ROCM. In windows they still haven't released it.
I am running the RX6500XT graphics card, which if you try to use in a plug and play fashion, you're completely out of luck when it comes to running any mildly new game out there in ultra or high settings.
However, the AMD Adrenaline software allows you to mess up with upscaling and many, many other goodies for you to fine tune performance and reach that ultra or high quality in (pretty much) all the games I usually play.
There's no way I'm playing with low settings on Linux when AMD developed some amazing tools for people that like hacking around with their cards. It's just a pity they still work only on Windows.
Edit: in my experience, ROCm didn't work in my particular card. Moreover, in order to try an installation of those drivers I was forced to use distros I'm not familiar with like Ubuntu. I had to ssh to my university labs for any ML task.
Thanks for sharing. I have an RX 6800 and Ubuntu 23.04
That being said. My main os is W11. If I'm playing a game where my PC is overkill, I stay on Ubuntu (example Monster Hunter Rise or Elden Ring). If I'm playing a game where I need more fps, I go to windows 11 because there is still some % drop by using Proton/Wine etc. Sometimes 20% sometimes 10%. depends. Basically, If the game gives me < 100 FPS in Windows. I stay on Windows.
