I have an Ryzen 3700x and the RX 5700. There appears to be no hardware acceleration, and I seem to be using software-rendering for everything. I have recently uninstalled the proprietary AMDGPU pro drivers and upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 from 18.04, installed the 5.3-rc3 kernel, and started using oibaf’s PPA. Moving back to Ubuntu 18.04 … Read more
