RDNA3 support out of the box

Hi,

This guide works perfectly on Pop_OS

https://catwithcode.github.io/Blog/2022.12.16_Radeon_7900XT-XTX_On_Linux/Radeon_7900XT-XTX_On_Linux.html

Could it be incorporated by default into Vanilla and the ISOs refreshed for an out of the box experience?

Should not be needed in a couple of months but for now everyone with new hardware has to go through hoops to test and use VanillaOS

I will look into this. And if possible will add it soon.

Very exciting. From reading the guide and what I know I did on PopOS, there's no reason why it shouldn't work I believe.

How unreasonable would it be for mesa to be updated more regularly in VanillaOS vs say Ubuntu?

Did this make it into the 1/5/23 update? It mentions a better OTB experience, but not much else was mentioned.

Update: I don't think this must be added as it requires adding a PPA to the host which might cause conflicts in future.

Also, the firmware seems to be for a particular GPU only.

I was talking about the handbook initially, If required we would write a guide for it. But I went through this article just now and discovered it requires adding a PPA to the host which isn't wrong but we generally avoid it. If you still want a guide, let me know I will write it.

Whoops, you are right. I've been tired, didn't realize I was in the handbook repo. Yeah the firmware is the required firmware that will make it into Ubuntu in a few months for all new amd gpus.
