blender performance in ubuntu 16.04 versus tumbleweed.

Everything speed with blender in ubuntu was horrible. I though my usb ports was too blame, so I had purchased a usb 2.0 extention card for my pen pad. The ubuntu repositories went down and then I found out version 18.04 was released. I decided to take a look at openSuse. Because openSuse as the gallium nine I decided to install it.

The blender speed is amazing. I have never been able to sculpt that fast. My machine should be able to do 1million or 2million vertices at these speeds.

I have decided to install leap. Tumbleweed will not support my gfx card rx 480.

In general, when you're using open source graphics drivers, the newer, the better: you'll benefit from newer kernel and Mesa versions out of the box.

However, Blender and Godot do not make use of Gallium Nine at all (which is a Direct3D 9 implementation targeted at WINE gaming) – native Linux programs use OpenGL or Vulkan only. Therefore, it cannot have any performance impact on native Linux applications and games.

This is true. I have reinstalled tumbleweed because leap was unable to load kde. It also uses kernel 4.4, rather than 4.16. After reinstalling tumbleweed, I found out that the amdgpu driver is installed on it. Just not on the previous installation, because I tried installing wine+gallium from an external repository. It messed up my video drivers. Now I can run gallium nine in tumbleweed by using the wine from the default repositories. However, the gallium nine is having a problem with the game I want to play. Now that I have tumbleweed running, without gallium nine the game is running as fast as gallium nine on ubuntu.

I tried installing 18.04, it has the same performance problem with blender. I did retest blender to make certain it was not amdgpu, the performance in tumbleweed with blender is unmatched.
