Forcing Anti-Aliasing with Mesa or Radeon Driver

I've recently moved this Linux machine from an Nvidia card to an AMD card, but I've run into a few issues. One being that I can't find a way to force anti-aliasing in games now via the driver itself.

On Nvidia I could use an environment variable to enable MLAA, or in other cases use the nvidia utility to enable FXAA (for games that don't work with MLAA). Is there a way of doing this with the AMDGPU driver?

A single example of why it's needed: Goat Simulator on Linux has no anti-aliasing options (thanks devs) and it looks really, really bad without it.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

I've tried that, using "pp_jimenezmlaa=8 programname" didn't seem to enable anything.

That may be because it's enabled by default .

You might want to try amdgpu-pro (in AUR) to check if amd proprietary driver allows forcing anti-aliasing .
