0 days since last faild attempt at AMD drivers
well, today i (partially) realized why my basic drivers don't work: the preinstalled packages amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms seem to not work due to amdgpu-dkms being unconfigured. tried configuring it and got the same error. around about there my system stopped using even the iGPU and i had to uninstall some other drivers (thanks @lena@gregtech.eu )
You're viewing a single thread.
Which distro are you using? AMD has been completely plug-and-play for me.
My R9 390 was a huge pain in the ass to get working on any distro, but I think it was the last card before they fixed whatever issue it was.
Yeah, afaik it's exactly one of the cards that require manual intervention or a switch to the radeon driver. Bad generation to run on Linux.
I have a r9 380. It's been amazing on Linux
This was on Windows:
Fancy.
Now I want that as a KDE theme
Too bad. It's a Windows exclusive and requires specific hardware.
The R9 380 was a rebrand of the R9 285, which was the first card to require the use of the new amdgpu driver. The R9 390 was a rebrand of the R9 290, which did not force the use of amdgpu, but optionally supports it through a kernel flag.

Ah, makes a lot of sense.
Yeeeah :(
Kbuntu 22.04 w/ radeon R9 M360
Have you enabled Southern Islands support as a kernel parameter? Your generation of GPU was originally supported on
radeon, so you need to explicitly enable SI (Southern Islands) support to useamdgpu.See ArchWiki for more information
Ill try that, thanks! I'm just distrohopping to Kinoite, and ill try it then if it doesn't work.
