Recently bought a RX7600XT and experienced lagging in Krita and flickering in blender since. I installed the drivers from AMD’s website, and ROCm.

I am unsure and totally overwhelmed as to what could cause these issues. ChatGPT always wants me to edit /etc/default/grub, but I am not sure why and what the bootloader has got to do with it?

These are quite a lot of questions and few information. If you need anything I am more than happy to provide any information.

    AMD drivers are baked into the kernel, so you shouldn’t have to install anything specific for your card. Steps I’d take:

    • uninstall whatever you didn’t install using your package manager
    • check that mesa and rocm are installed through your package manager

    With Linux distros, you install almost everything through a package manager. Downloading an installer from some website does happen very occasionally, but 99% of the time it will be provided by your distro.
