I use my desktop for basic photo editing, playing videos, and basic
office/browser work. What recommendations do you have? Here's my
requirements:
- native open source drivers
- supports at least three monitors
- PCIe x16
- support for 4K
- HDMI output
- audio not necessary
AMD cards are going to be your only options here, because the two choices
for open source drivers are AMD and Intel, and Intel doesn't make
stand-alone cards with multi-monitor support. (With some laptop models, you
can drive the internal display plus one with the built-in external HDMI plus
one over thunderbolt, for a total of three displays, but that doesn't sound
like what you're looking for.)
I personally have been very happy with AMD cards (previously, a Vega 56 and
now a Radeon Pro W5700) on Fedora Workstation -- they basically just work,
and provide a great gaming experience.
