Hi everyone, I recently got myself a Radeon PRO W6400. I looked for the driver (amdgpu-pro) and installed it, but it didn't work for some reason. My screen was just black. I somehow found a link to a newer version of the driver in the install guide, not the driver page, and this one did seem to work.
However, I started noticing small but annoying glitches that get more and more insufferable as I use my computer:
- Random lag spikes slowing down (or freezing) an app or my whole system - sometimes for very long times.
- Firefox straight up randomly crashing.
- Cursor antialiasing gone.
- Super wonky startup.
- Suspension doesn't work half of the time.
- Visual glitches in GTK apps (i.e. buttons in the Nemo file explorer randomly turning into my background).
- Some steam games refuse to launch/crash.
And some others.
If somebody knows what could be causing this, please reply. I would not like to reinstall Ubuntu again.
