I am curious to know about other people's experiences with this kind of setup.
Out of the box, the AMD drivers that are loaded with the Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS install just work. Native Linux games run on Steam great. Proton also works great. I was even able to get the XBOX One Wireless controller working.
However, I have found that proton games seem to suffer from lag and I believe it is because the AMD drivers for Linux do not allow for turning on features like Radeon AntiLag which helps keep frames in sync with this 3440x1440p 144hz monitor.
Is anyone running Ubuntu with AMD drivers and is willing to share their experience?
