Maybe you need to upgrade the kernel. You should be able to do that through the Update Manager.

>>730604316
it's fine on windows

>>730604634
Then go back to Windows.

>>730604534
I tried to update the kernel but I couldn't because for some reason I can't install ppas and I wasn't able to resolve the issue and the "manual way" also gave me some diabolical errors and i gave up
i'm back on windows until rdna4 is supported by mint or something i guess

>>730604835
I'm not talking about PPAs. Linux Mint has a kernel upgrade menu that should not require any third-party software sources. You may or may not have been on the latest kernel depending on when you installed Mint and what version it was.

>>730605039
the kernel upgrade tool only goes up until 6.14-37 which is the one I have installed, I don't think I can go higher without some tinkering which I can't get to work

>>730605380
I see. Might not have been a kernel issue anyway, hence the earlier "maybe". Just thought I should point it out.
My own hardware is older so I don't know how fucked 9070xt support is.

>>730605743
No I'm pretty sure you're right because I did solve the mouse issue by tinkering with the amdgpu kernel module. And from what I've seen online from people with the same issues they solved them by modifying the same module but again I couldn't get those fixes to work on my pc and might have fucked my install trying to.

>>730604261
Your mesa might be out of date since you're using an out of date distro. The general rule is that if you're using the latest gpus then you shouldn't use an outdated distro. Try cachyos instead. Or install the latest mesa with another ppa.

>>730604261
>mint
nigga you're on amd, there's no reason to be on an x11 desktop environment

>>730607937
Mint has a Wayland desktop option. It just isn't the default yet. You have to select it at the login screen.

>>730608741
it has a beta implementation of wayland, which is not quite the same.
GNOME has had wayland as the default for 8 years for comparison.

>>730609382
>GNOME
Well Red Hat and Fedora people will drag everyone else kicking and screaming into new tech even if it's not ready.

I tried cachyos on an all amd setup. The steam overlay was broken (mouse cursor wouldn't appear sometimes, sometimes I couldn't even exit) doom 2016 ran well with vsync turned off, but with vsync turned on the frame rate went down to 40fps. I had no problems with crysis in lutris though.

>>730609636
the rendering pipeline has been perfectly functional on GNOME for a long time, it was just lacking a few features for the power users.
most desktop environments just don't have the resources of redhat which is why it's taking so long for everyone to catch up. there's also the naysayers obviously and the people that were waiting for wayland to fail before commiting.

>>730607937
explain the difference and why it matters in retardspeak

the absolute state of mint shills

>>730611956
mint uses cinnamon as a desktop environment and that uses x11
x11 is one of the core components that relates as to how your system displays everything for you
it's completely abandoned now though there are forks that attempt to revive it
the only reason you'd want to stick to it is if you have a nvidia gpu because nvidia is made up of vile niggers or if you have something old and specific that relies on the few things that haven't been carried over to wayland

>>730607937
>you're on amd, there's no reason to be on an x11 desktop environment
>>730612734
>the only reason you'd want to stick to it is if you have a nvidia gpu
Not him but my AMD GPU doesn't magically make things like xdotool work in Wayland. And don't show me that ydotool program that implements like 1% of xdotool's features. I saw it already.

>>730613068
>or if you have something old and specific that relies on the few things that haven't been carried over to wayland

>>730613143
I just want to be able to control windows and get window titles from a shell script.
It'll never be carried over though, because there's "no use case". See? No one on Wayland is doing it, so no use case.

>>730613339
nothing is stopping you from just having an x11 de installed alongside a wayland de
maybe if you ask nicely or do it yourself

>>730614386
I already do, because I'm using Mint.
But Wayland shills act as if staying on X11 should be illegal because they're so butthurt about everyone having known they were full of shit when they declared X11 dead and obsolete a decade before Wayland was anywhere near good enough.

>>730615559
most people shitting on x11 do so when it's aimed at new people like it is with mint
someone who doesn't even know what those things even are should be on wayland

>>730610284
Sure, but let's not pretend like it was perfectly functional 8 years ago. There's still a lot of issues like programs with multiple windows not knowing/remembering where to open because the GNOME retards keep NACKing everything they don't like.

>>730604261
>buys new hardware

mint is a fucking meme

Plenty of annoying shit with linux happens. Here's the most recent issue i couldnt solve.
>install skyrim through steam
>install MO2
>mo2 doesnt respect dpi
>no launch command in steam works for dpi because mo2 is made by retards & it thinks I'm trying to open the command as a file
>install steamtinkerlaunch
>it cant interact with snap
>nothing i can do
>accept it would just have to download the gog version & mod it through lutris if I wanted to do it right
That about sums up my day yesterday. Cool shit

>>730621561
>snap
lmao

>>730621561
Do you mean you're trying to run MO2's .exe through Steam instead of Skyrim? I'm not an expert on this but you should be able to avoid passing the steam command to MO2, since MO2 wants to control launching the game on its own.
At any rate, you could use protontricks-launch to run MO2.exe in Skyrim's prefix, or does snap fuck with that too? Avoiding snap in general would probably be good

cachyos with btrfs snapshots and limine set up is legitimately peak computing
you're not torturing yourself with gentoo or scratch installation for nonexistent gains, you can live on the edge with constant updates since it takes 5 minutes to just revert to an old snapshot and you have access to all the newest shit and the distro maintainers make shit specifically for new hardware

>>730622043
Yes free fag because I'm not going to install every fucking thing as a super user,
>>730622616
No I'm talking about it installed skyrim, & then added mo2 to its prefix, added it as a non steam game amd cant scale it as i said because any launch command that makes scaling happens MO2 assumes is a file its trying to open. Like I said in the post

>>730623925
Don't know exactly what you're trying to do but I would expect
>launch_command MO2.exe
not
>MO2.exe launch_command
because the latter will have MO2 think you want it to run launch_command. In the first case, MO2 doesn't see anything.

>>730623925
>every fucking thing
Okay, then how about the one thing for which Snap is causing problems? Are you going to say it's the best way to install the very thing it's breaking? It's not as if Steam will run games as root if you install it the normal way. The entire Steam runtime gets installed to your home folder anyway, which is why you don't need sudo for Steam updates.

>>730625116
All I'm trying to do is ad MO2 is a non steam game, that I can click play on & have it not be made for ants but ill try it out. If it works ill report back if not though its a sign from God I dont need to play skyrim

>>730604261
This is the reason you were told to use a rolling release distro retard.

>>730620548
Even kubuntu is better it has a 6.17 kernel which was released in sept 2025.

I always install kubuntu, update it, use flatpaks or snaps whichever is available. Never gives me any trouble whatsoever.

furude rika nipa?

>I'm not going to install every fucking thing as a super user
That's cool but I hope you don't seriously think mods would need to be installed as super user when using a non-Snap install of Steam.
