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.

The ring issues are killing me right now on my Radeon 680M. This isn't brought up enough when people talk about using AMD on Linux.
Odd, Freesync should work for you though? What's the issue you're experiencing?
Agreed, AMD is not perfect, it's still an arguably better experience than Nvidia, but it's still not great at times
I don't really see the better experience to be honest. Sure, AMD is a lot better on laptops, but on desktops I still prefer Nvidia. DLSS, raytracing, Optix, CUDA are all killer features that I need that AMD doesn't really have an answer for. Sure Wayland is great, but it doesn't outweigh the disadvantages of not having those technologies.
Meanwhile both my AMD GPUs (Vega 64 and Radeon 680M) have been crash happy with gfx timeouts and ring0 errors.
It was inconsistently causing gamma flickering with certain fullscreen applications. I haven't seen it since disabling it on my monitor.
Are you using wayland by any chance? Freesync was also causing flickering when i was trying out wayland recently, so i guess i'll be staying on xorg lol.
Nope, X and i3 here.
Ah, that's unfortunate, was worth a shot.
