From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a 6700XT and was using Debian Testing (it was trixie), it was super stable, then it became to be extremely unstable around april 2025. I think it was a mix a buggy mesa update and a buggy kernel update. It was so awful that I had to remove Debian :( (multiple full freeze a day). I went full Gentoo and it was super stable. I tried trixie again some days ago and it was still extremely unstable, unfortunately... (only on this machine, the others work fine). Mesa 25.3 has fixed a "turn page flip error" on these cards, but not everything is smooth.
It would be nice if we could switch MESA version as easy as we can switch the kernel.
