Similarly worrisome for gamers is aging architectural features as devs catch up to hardware, i.e. mesh shaders in Alan Wake 2 supported in Turing+ and RDNA2+.

AMD's dropping of Polaris and Vega also applies to Linux, where the AMDVLK first-party driver stopped supporting them. ROCm also does not work anymore.
Of course, nobody uses AMDVLK so it's not a huge loss (RADV is generally a lot better), but the loss of ROCm does suck.
