AMD GPUs are famous for working very well on Linux. However, what about the very first GCN GPUs? Are they working as well as the new ones? In this post, I’m going to summarize how well these old GPUs are supported and what I’ve been doing to improve them.

    I’ve had to dig through shady sites to download drivers for printers or scanners that are perfectly fine but the manufacturer decided not to support the latest Windows versions

    Windows Vista being the widest known example, basically the KT Boundary of computer drivers.

    Meanwhile my ancient Laserjet 1100 works out of the box in any Linux.

    Brother Laser Printer I found at good will for 5 bucks worked right out of the box, too. I’ve still yet to put a toner cartridge in it, lol.
