"optional" means "beta", amd is just afraid of using the word "beta" and hides it behind something else, which misrepresents it imo
It's your site, you're going to do what you want.
For what it's worth, I completely agree that in this case, AMD's "Optional" = "Beta". However it should be up to the individual reader to do that interpretation themselves. Not have to read someone else's assessment and then decide whether or not it's the correct conclusion or not.
Facts should clearly be facts. Opinions should clearly be opinions. In this case, it's opinion not fact.
There are other well known tech sites that make no obvious distinction about AMD's Recommended and Optional software which is even worse. If everyone just used what the manufacturer writes, it wouldn't be an issue but this is the Internet in 2022 and I'm powerless to do anything about it other than use browser bookmarks rather than click through hyperlinks on third-party articles. That's twice the work since I read one posting on a third-party site, then have to go to the AMD site to read their post. Clearly I am making some poor decisions on the sites I frequent.
Nvidia doesn't get into this conundrum since they don't post GeForce hotfixes on their main driver page.
I just thought this thread would be a place to air such feedback regardless of whether or not you agree.
I apologize for taking up your time, I won't do it again. It's a waste of everyone's time: yours, mine, and everyone who read this conversation.
