to people with more knowledge regarding GPU/ GPU drivers on Linux:
I recently bought a wide-screen monitor which has 165hz, since then when playing eu4 in full screen mode the GPU just "says no" (all 3 monitors go black, and the ventilation goes to 100%) the computer is still on but yeah I have to force shut down it in these situations.
and a few minutes ago this happened randomly (Minecraft, Browser and TeamSpeak were pretty much the only open windows)

So my question is: How can I troubleshoot this? I searched through journal entries but no logs that scream to my noob eyes that they are responsible.

so thanks in advance!

(I really like the new monitor so I would prefer it if I could keep using it :S)

(GPU is AMD RX 480 with 4 GB VRAM)
(Edit: OS is Fedora 42, up to date, and I'm using Gnome)

Radeon Software For Linux Dropping #AMD's Proprietary OpenGL/Vulkan Drivers

»The release notes mention AMD #AMF will also no longer be included with users encouraged instead to target the Video Acceleration API (VA-API) within Mesa for their multimedia accelerated needs.«

Sehr gut, dann wird bald jede Software VA-API bei AMD-GPUs unterstützen müssen, auch #Handbrake!

That's it, I'm going against AMD for recommending computers for #AI.

I don't even know how to start running something on their NPU via Linux, or check it's running at all. Windows fares better but it's `llama.cpp` doesn't work there.

So, if you want to run AI on your computer: RTX, Mac, or don't bother at all.

AMD goes MORE open source by default ✅

RADV (Mesa 3D graphic driver stack's Vulkan driver) officially supported by AMD now - out of the box Linux conveniency + !

Vulkan? An open API for modern gaming graphic needs.

"Starting with 25.20: The Mesa Vulkan driver will be officially supported, along with Mesa OpenGL and Multimedia support. The AMD proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers will no longer be included in the release."

I still think that #AMD #StrixHalo, the Max+ with #Radeon 8060S, is one of the most amazing things in quite a while, BUT it's rather expensive.

Even if i weren't still paying off my Ryzen 7840HS mini PC, i'd be unlikely to pay/finance a 2000-ish bucks box!

For me personally, the better option is an #OCuLink dock and a Radeon 7800/9070, currently.

That fast "unified" V-/RAM is quite nifty, though - funny, how most models start at 64gig - i've recently upgraded my 7840HS to 64gig(16G APU VRAM).

For those on Fedora 42 KDE, with AMD GPUs:

I've noticed that the kernel version 6.14.8-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) completely freezes my system due to some GPU issues.

If you have this bug too, share info here: bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c

However kernel 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) works just fine.

Just wanted to raise awareness if someone else has same issue. Just boot to older kernel and things should be ok!

Operating System: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.80
