Kernel 5.14

That's interesting:

Kernel 5.14: Lower latency for the USB audio driver.

There were some updates for our old Radeon cards but the big GPU drivers updates were for modern graphics cards.

When you say "modern", I assume you mean the modern part of another architechture than the one which is being supported for AmigaOS (e.g. Radeon Rx)?

Best regards,

I mean for Linux PowerPC. Polaris graphics cards aren't supported by Linux PPC. OS4 supports modern RX Polaris graphics cards. But you are correct because there are a lot of updates for newer graphics cards than Polaris graphics cards.

The notes made it sound like testing really needed so I didn't postpone it. I can report that RC2 has been running problem free here for over two minutes so far!

Oops! I put in RC3 yesterday and forgot to try it out until I rebooted just now. Anyway, it's working fine so far as I can tell.
