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.

Ubuntu 22.04 has ray tracing support for AMD RX 6000 graphics cards, but the performance is terrible. You can install Mesa 23.1 from a PPA and it will work much better. Be sure to take a backup in case something breaks and you need to revert to the stock version. I had some trouble getting the 32 bit Mesa libraries to install, which are required for Steam.

I can run Quake II RTX at 50-60 fps in 1080p on my RX 6700 XT using Mesa 23.1.3 and Linux kernel 5.15.
