In the year 2025, Linus Torvalds, the renowned father of Linux, continues to employ the AMD RX 580 GPU, which debuted in 2017, as his primary desktop graphics solution. This graphics card, rooted in the Polaris architecture, has garnered immense popularity within the Linux community for its robust and well-maintained open-source drivers, a factor that has endeared it to Torvalds. When discussing this GPU, he emphasized that despite its vintage, the RX 580's reliability remains steadfast. Despite NVIDIA's partial openness with its driver source code and improved support for open-source kernels, Torvalds remains steadfast in his preference for the open AMD platform.
