Last year was at least a year ago and Debian still can't use the card? Seriously? It's not even some kind of special card (except being way too large) but the minimum card you can get away with when you have a 4k display (and has only about half the performance or even less of the 1080ti FE I surprisingly resurrected.) On top of that, the AMD drivers are open source and in the standard kernel and are supposed to work. It doesn't make any sense. Who is cooperative with their drivers now, NVIDIA or AMD? Wayland still doesn't work with NVIDIA, but I can live without it for now ...
