Don't manually install any drivers, the ones in the kernel by default are ideal. Maybe a power related setting like cpu governor. Newer dxvk versions don't have the shader compilation lag that previously existed either

I used Endeavors OS out of the box driver and manually install driver, this is my post relating to this issue https://lemmy.ca/post/15927798

FWIW I had to install newer drivers from a PPA because the latest stable Mint didn’t support my RX 7900 XT.

Shouldn't be a problem anymore, was only an issue with firmware when the card was super new

What version of mint? Why are they so incredibly behind? Hasn't been an issue on other distros for like a year

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

The latest LTS, currently 21.3

Mints default channel is based on Ubuntu LTS

So is my distro pop os 22.04, no issues

[–] Quill7513 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs

In this case looks like they just go to the basic effort of updating the linux-firmware package

Applause to them, even if that's all they're doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren't really something you need to consider anymore)
