From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Recommendations for GPU with good Linux support, 8GB or more VRAM, and ~150W TDP or less? (lemmy.ml)

I could in theory upgrade the power supply to go beyond the 150W target, but then I'd also need a better chassis because it is already quite warm with my current 130W card.

Hoping to stick with AMD, but if my wishes to play around with local LLMs and image upscaling makes Nvidia a more practical choice, I can live with that compromise.

Working with a budget of 200 US, I'm fine going with a used GPU.

RX 480, thinking of upgrading since ROCm support for it ended a while ago and working around it has become very painful

If your big issue is just getting back into mainstream support, you can try looking for a 7600, since RDNA 3 is just one generation removed from the latest. You'll have to undervolt or limit power and you'll be stuck with 8GB on that budget but you'll probably receive software support for slightly longer than the RDNA 2 6600/6700.
