Amd transcode isn’t very good and isn’t very compatible with Linux
It's compatible just fine. But the quality... well, it's not the worst, but definitely not the best quality.

users expect support when things don’t work
no shit, that's why you refuse support for users with unsupported configurations.
This is not a new concept.
It's standard for big companies to say they only support RHEL or Ubuntu, in every other case you're on your own.
Instead of axing their entire Linux support they could just do the reasonable thing, which is ignore issues that are out of scope.
Or should they support users trying to run their software on Windows 95, just because it's still technically Windows?
But they're not - it's the same old, tired excuse that was never true.
"Too many different distros" was never really a good argument.
Just support one and users will figure it out, like we always do.
Proton Drive Linux desktop client and system integration for Calendar on Android are the main ones I remember.
Outrage narrative? Are you talking about me, or you?
Are you actually a Proton user, or you just here to shitpost? Because there are features that were promised years ago and then forgotten about, because they aren't trendy enough.
Is a paying customer not allowed to complain that they waste their time on chasing the next popular thing, instead of, I dunno, delivering important features promised years ago?
I think making it an opt-out is sensible
Why? I'm not in the business of making ad companies' jobs easier.
Tape is actually doing pretty well.
Not the little cassette tapes, but tape storage tends to be used in big companies for backup long-term storage, and it doesn't seem currently like it's going anywhere.
I'd prefer fuck-you-fines making it impossible to ignore the security that are actually enforced.
No vibration at all? That's a really strange choice...
I guess you're right. I should've upgraded first and checked it, oh well.
I don't have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.
I'd say on my setup it's comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.
And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I'm sure newer cards have improved.
