4K Gaming on a Raspberry Pi? YES!
It's been over four years in the making, but thanks to some amazing work by Coreforge and others in the community, we have a mostly-stable patch for (some) AMD GPUs running on the Pi 5.
Unlike past attempts, most of the memory alignment bugs are fixed, it's stable with Wayland and many arm64-compatible games, and it may even be possible to use it for transcoding!
