Sekudlule iminyaka eminingana Ubuntu bufaka impikiswano lapho kubonakala sengathi abakwazi ukuphuma khona. Ingabe Ubuntu Software Bukhulu Kangakanani? Ngisho nobaba wayo yonke le nhlangano, uRichard Stallman, uze ukuzogxeka i-distro enikeza ibhulogi yethu igama layo ngokunikeza abasebenzisi ithuba lokufaka abashayeli abanikazi bohlelo.
Hhayi-ke, kubonakala sengathi iCanonical ithathe igxathu elikhulu elibheke kwiFree Software. Futhi ukuthi kusukela ngo-Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, abashayeli abaphethe iRadeon (Catalyst) bazophelelwa yisikhathi, ngakho-ke ngakolunye uhlangothi, Ubuntu izoqala ukusebenzisa kuphela amashayeli wehluzo wamahhala, njenge-AMDGPU.
Ngonyaka odlule, i-AMD isivele ibheja kakhulu kwi-Open Source naku-Free Software, ngokusebenzisa Vula i-GPU.
Sonke siyayazi inkathazo ebikulethile kuletheKuyacaca ukuthi uma umqambi angasebenzisa futhi abuke ikhodi yomthombo yamashayeli wehluzo wohlelo, futhi ngenxa yalokho akwazi ukufinyelela ku-API enamandla, ukuthuthukiswa kwesoftware kungafinyelela ezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu lekhwalithi nokusebenza kahle. Futhi lo ngumsebenzi oyinhloko we-GPUOpen, ukunikeza umhleli ithuba lokuthi thola okuningi ku-GPU, ngokusebenzisa iqoqo lemiphumela yokubuka, nazo zonke izinhlobo zamathuluzi wokukhiqiza mahhala ngaphandle kwezindleko.
Ezikhathini eziningi ngifakele Ubuntu kubangani noma emndenini, futhi izinkinga abagcine sebenazo neCatalyst bekulokhu kunzima ukuzixazulula. Izikhathi eziningana, imvelo yokuqhafaza kwezicelo eziningi iyekile ukusebenza ngokungazelelwe, noma imvelo yedeskithophu uqobo, ngisho nokufometha ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, ikhambi belilokhu lifana; faka abashayeli bamahhala, okuvame ukuthi iqede inkinga ngokuphelele.
Futhi kungukuthi njengoba sishilo, abashayeli bamahhala bagcina ngokuthola okuningi kumaGPU ethu. Izinhlelo esizisebenzisa kakhulu (kusuka kusiphequluli kuya kunoma imuphi umdlalo wevidiyo) zingasizakala ngezici ezithile ezisezingeni eliphansi ze-GPU, zibenze babe ngcono kakhulu.
Ngokulandela ifilosofi efanayo, iCanonical inqume lokho Ubuntu 16.04 izophatha inguqulo ye-AMDGPU 4.4 LTS ku-kernel yakho (i-Linux 4.5). Yize kungeyona yonke into ezoba izinzuzo. Uma ngabe kukhona okuthile okungekuhle okungakhonjiswa kulesi sinqumo, kungukuthi abasebenzisi be-AMD zizosekelwa kuphela kuze kufike ku-OpenGL 4.1, futhi nabashayeli abaphethe bazokwazi ukufinyelela kunguqulo 4.5.
Noma kunjalo, ngokubuka kwami, nansi indlela uBuntu okufanele ayilandele, ngaso sonke isikhathi ephethe isandla seFree Software futhi asuse, akukaze kube ngcono, kukho konke ukusetshenziswa kohlelo okunikeza ukusetshenziswa kwe-Private Software. Sithemba ukuthi uzithande lezi zindaba ngendlela esizithanda ngayo. Sishiyele umbono wakho esigabeni sokuphawula 😉
Angiqondi le ndatshana, iyamangaza kancane. Kepha hey, ungahlala ufaka umshayeli ophethe ngokusebenzisa amanye ama-.deb, ngoba i-Ubuntu ingu-debian kodwa i-crappy.
Iqiniso ukuthi angizithandanga izindaba, ngincamela abashayeli abaphethe.
Ikhadi lami yi-NVIDIA. Ngiyethemba nje, ngenxa yabasebenzisi, ukuthi abashayeli bamahhala abavela ku-AMD abafani neNouveau engenakubekezelelwa yeNVIDIA (ihamba kancane njengehhashi le-baddie).
Bengihlale nginezinkinga ekusheshiseni okungu-3d nabashayeli bamahhala, bobabili nge-HD7770 yami noma u-R9 280 wami. Uma ufuna ukwenza lokhu. Akufanele yini balungise le nkinga kuqala?
Ngine-amd apu nangemva kokufaka i-kubuntu 16.04 futhi ngisebenze kahle nedeskithophu, i-linux ngaphambi kokuthi uphole, kwenzakalani ngawe? Kuyisinqumo esibi ukushiya abashayeli abazimele ngaphandle kokuxazulula amaphutha adalwe ukushiya kubo, benginombono omuhle nge-linux distros kepha ngemuva kokuhamba kokudume kakhulu futhi ngithi i-linux isiphenduke udoti wohlelo lokusebenza, yeka ukuthi isisesigabeni se-alpha.
