Anandtech published AMD's 2016 Linux Driver Plans & GPUOpen Family of Dev Tools: Investing In Open Source
A quote from the article:
Earlier this month AMD's Radeon Technologies Group held an event to brief the press of their plans for 2016. Part of a larger shift for RTG as they work to develop their own identity and avoid the mistakes of the past, RTG has set about being more transparent and forthcoming in their roadmap plans, offering the press and ultimately the public a high-level overview of what the group plans to accomplish in 2016. The first part of this look into RTG's roadmap was released last week, when the company unveiled their plans for their visual technologies ? DisplayPort/HDMI, FreeSync, and HDR support.AMD's 2016 Linux Driver Plans & GPUOpen Family of Dev Tools: Investing In Open Source @ Anandtech
Following up on that, today RTG is unveiling the next part of their roadmap. Todays release is focused around Linux and RTG's developer relations strategy, with RTG's laying out their plans to improve support on the former and to better empower developers on the latter. Both RTG's Linux support and developer relations have suffered some from RTG's much smaller market share and more limited resources compared to NVIDIA, and while I don't think even RTG expects to right everything overnight, they do have a clear idea over where they have gone wrong and what are some of the things they can do to correct this.
