    Holy crap. I’d say not to buy AMD if you value your security (i have an AMD CPU and the Deck too). You already know the next vulnerability they’re going to be the last ones to find out. In the news, probably.

      The Steam Deck does run Linux right? Generally that means the used drivers are not written by AMD and also do not have an auto-updater from AMD. The deck is supposed to update through it’s OS’es package manager and supposedly has the Mesa and Linux Foundation drivers in use.

        AMD does contribute to MESA and kernel driver. It’s all open source, but they do lot of heavy lifting regardless
