but I have used the video encode hardware on AMD cards via VAAPI and it was competent and much faster than x264/x265 on the CPU.
Yes, it’s faster than the CPU, which is no surprise, but the quality is incredibly worse than NVENC. I switched to AMD earlier this year and I knew that the AMD video encoder wouldn’t match NVENC, but the difference is much bigger than I’ve ever thought.
xone needs to blacklist the xpad kernel driver, which supports all kinds of Xbox controllers, to prevent it from high jacking Xbox One controllers. You will have to install xpad-noone, which is xpad but without Xbox One support and can coexist next to xone.
