So I’m in this predicament too, I didn’t notice the warning about this update breaking my card and I’ve just gone through a full reinstall - didn’t have timeshift installed, so I’m kind of gutted. Getting that sorted now so it’s an option going forwards.
My question is, how do I go about downgrading to the prior firmware that isn’t broken? And should I update back to the newest kernel?
Sometimes I feel like I’m getting the hang of Linux, and then something like this comes up and I immediately realise how very little I know. I’d be extremely grateful for any guidance.
i remember your post from a while back regarding the parts you’d like to use for a new build! i feel responsible in some small way to get you up and running 😅
i’ve been using fedora fully as a dumb guy for a good few years now and have had a great time with it. happy to help wherever i can.
i also have a very similar config to you (R7 9800X3D + RX 9070XT) so we should have a fairly similar experience on 45 together.
best of luck 😊
As of this morning I am doubly in your debt. It’s incredibly sweet to be remembered and looked after, thank you! In an age where computing is the means of production, it is a radical blessing to have a community like this making it free and open and supportive.
Even from the live session it was snappier than Mint ever was. Even the tooltips are charming. So I took the plunge! AAAAAA!
It took literally a couple minutes to install the whole OS, and I might actually get everything working again before I normally start work even. Insane! I’m overwhelmed at how good this is, I’m actually GLAD now that Canonical broke my GPU upstream from Mint, this is exactly the push I needed to try something new.
Again, you rule. I’m literally misty-eyed right now. Thank you.
Edit: Gasp it even has an advanced clipboard OOTB, this is huge for me. I love it so much.
very happy to hear 😊
please make sure you grab the codec packs from the software store. There’s a philosophical reason as to why they’re not included by default, as they don’t like to ship non-free sw in the base image, but these will allow for proper video playback. you should be able to find them in their own little section
other than that, enjoy your pc, hit us up if you need a hand with anything
