    I have had an insane number of issues on my AMD card (not even old, an RX 6600 XT). Every new kernel version, ROCm version, there’s some new bug/crash that happens. Currently, the LTS kernel is the only stable one for me.

    A list of issues I’ve had:

    • Random page faults in OpenGL if I dare use more than 10% of it
    • An insane separation of the audio and video driver on the GPU that causes neither to be usable, one stuck in limbo, unable to be bound to any device.
    • Segmentation fault when doing anything in ROCm (I’ve had to revert to a very specific month old version)
    • Page fault with VAAPI if I have both a vulkan and opengl app running
    • Absolute lag insanity if I use SPECIFICALLY 92-95% of my vram, anything else is fine. I swear it’s not a vram issue.
    • Glitchy artifacts frequently on the screen reminiscent of a VRAM issue (newest issue that made me revert to month old kernel versions)

    I’m still gonna be using Linux, but I’ve never had issues like these in windows (where amd is famous for *bad" drivers).

      That’s wild. I have the exact same card and didnt encounter a single problem with it. I am currently running a dual monitor setup with different resolutions and refreshing rates and it just works. Sometimes some people are just kind of cursed with their setup.
