“In IT” could mean anything from first line support worker to software project manager to network engineer. Can you be more specific…?

It feels like the crypto mining goldrush really changed the way GPU manufacturers view the market.
Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:
These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.
Almost feels Borderlandsy.
I’m going to try to take this in the spirit that it was provided, but you’re using a lot of "…"s, and a lot of implications that what I’m saying is obvious, for a person trying to provide earnest assistance. I wasn’t requesting technical support or expressing surprise at these things, I was merely expressing that these were the things I was generally encountering difficulty with my transition to Linux as a daily driver.
The DisplayLink driver for instance is running, and basically functional, but ends up running slowly, with distortions, and instability. It also isn’t signed, so my plan to still run Secure Boot with the distro I’m using alongside Windows is out (without a lot of faff), but that largely won’t matter excusing some specific work setups that I don’t currently have to worry about. Having useful AMD specific driver level tools on Windows that don’t exist in Linux isn’t a surprise, it is a discouragement.
Forum content and non-Reddit content are a pain to locate, especially when you don’t know how to frame your problem in Linux syntax, as you say. Communities are either open but in specific places that I will never find without already knowing about it, or happening in places that aren’t accessible without having already joined, like the Discord of the specific software I need guidance on. My experience has been that there is basic info and there is advanced info out there, but intermediate info that lets you bridge the gap is a challenge to locate, especially with subtle differences in certain steps that are distro/package manager specific. Yet I press on.
I’ll say it. Cats have bad work ethic.
I’m not having a great time with DisplayLink driver support, personally. Various applications I use with mixed levels of support too, along with missing out on Windows specific GPU features.
This has been my most successful round of Linux adoption, but there are still niggling issues and confusion. The biggest difficulty is that my accumulated support knowledge of like 20 years is useless and I am relearning basic issue identification and resolution processes.
The internet being a raging dumpster fire, support is kind of patchy on more niche topics. All the good, useful discussions are largely happening behind closed doors at this point on everyone’s Discords and whatnot.
Bitwarden is too functional and too affordable for me to really consider moving.
That’s the real sticking point for me, it is a problem for my desire to transition to Linux as a daily driver.

Well I can’t fault your logic.
I have a space in my heart reserved for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. :')
They’re raking in huge amounts of additional revenue across the franchise and its associated content, getting new F76 players in to their microtransaction store, etc. The last thing that they are doing right now is kicking themselves.
And the show was actually good.
I’m on DietPi 9 and the latest version for Debian 12 is 1.17.1, sadly. Though I do see 1.19.1 is in testing as of today, according to Debian’s package tracker site. Probably not worth trying to install an unstable version of it.
It is pretty absurd.
People are well within their rights in being deeply disappointed by something that they had high hopes for. Go figure.
It’s the point at which it starts forcing you to do fast paced quick time events to progress… that’s not what I signed up for.
If you want to say something is a false positive by all means, but just pretending that culturally none of this exists helps no one.
You can find edgy teens with shit eating grins anywhere.
It’s the thing you only tell your “ride-or-die bitch” server.
