Hi guys! Brand new PC…And I’m trying to install its brand new 7800XT. I’ve chosen KDE Neon, as it was my previous OS, and I’ve grown to like it. I’d like to stick with it if possible…I’m writing this preamble, because when I try to run amdgpu-install from the AMD downloads page, all I get is:

Unsupported OS: /etc/os-release ID 'neon'

So…what can I do? Neon is mostly Ubuntu 22.04 to most effects. Kernel is 6.2.0-36-generic.

Thanks!

    If you were missing firmware, that’s not actually a driver issue. You do need the firmware and (unless you also installed the professional drivers as well) you should be all good now and using the full open source stack.

    Anyway, glad to hear it’s working for you!

      Yeah…kinda. Now on multi-monitor setup I have a weird glitch…when one of the monitors are turned off. Screen will start flickering rearranging the windows. Weird.

        Do you mean it constantly does it when a monitor is turned off or that when you initially turn off a monitor, it rearranges all windows to fit on the remaining monitor.

        If the first, I’m not sure what the problem might be, but the second is pretty normal, I think. The card sees that the display was detached and moves your windows to the attached display so you can see them.

          …the first, I’m afraid. It continues to jump the windows out of place, about 3 times within 2 seconds, every 20 seconds or so…
